They were very pushy to check in and check out. They need maintenance like serious maintenance to the point where it could be a fire hazard. Please see the photo of an electrical outlet that obviously has water damage. The TV didn’t work. We believe it is an outlet problem as well and the baseboard show signs of water damage.

First of all had to walk through 3-4 inches of water just to get into the office. Room was in old building and was completely dissatisfied, room was dingy, mattress soft, stains on sheets and mattress appeared old and dirty. I advised the front desk I would not be staying there. Huge disappointment and I will be seeking a refund.
