One elevator out of service. Fridge in room not working. For breakfast you have to go out front door and walk next door to another hotel. Room was quiet and comfortable. Just the whole place needs to take care of the small issues. Would stay again

It was definitely not the most clean place and had an unpleasant odor. We had major plumbing issues as we could not even flush the toilet and had to use the lobby bathroom which also seemed to have issues. It really needs a massive renovation especially since the only elevator that worked was very small. Despite the condition of the hotel, the staff was extremely friendly in our many interactions with them whether it was waiting for the elevator at the same time or going to the front desk for something. We couldn’t have anything better to say about the staff but would not recommend the hotel itself.
