Beds were alright, no refrigerator. Building is very run down, rooms aren’t too much better, I felt like I was staying in a homeless shelter it was just all around an uncomfortable stay. On the plus side Rooms were generally clean not perfect but not filthy and didn’t smell too weird so that was a plus lol
