* Front desk guy was rude. * Shower is not working well. Very little water coming out of the shower head. * There should be hairdryer in the washroom * There should be mirror in the bedroom * Sofa in the living room is heavily stained and looks dirty.

Would not recommend

The room was dirty and some things were even broken. All the extra locks on the door were broken and the door had a huge gap. Mattress was very springy and there was a weird smell.
