The room had an interesting cologne/Febreze smell, the heater didn’t work, the bar soap, smell bad and did not work well, the bathroom definitely seemed like it could’ve been a bit cleaner. I would prefer not to stay here, but it wasn’t so bad that I would rule the place out.

Too $$$ for this shabby room. The room smelled like an old man lived there for about a month who used ol'spice aftershave. Yuck ! Towels hard. Heater didnt work - it gets cold at night. The bed was a supped up rollaway. The step up to the room is about a 10" - too dangerous for us old timers.
