9/10 Wonderful! (1,005 reviews)
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room on the other hand was very dated. Not a USB port to be found. The bedding was odd - not really a bottom sheet, I got a blanket out of the closet. However, the worst was that the room had an odor. It smelled very sulphury. I just needed an affordable place to stay for a couple of nights, but it was bare bones. While I was not super excited about having a room by the ice machine, it was not bad. What was annoying was having a room by the utility room, so a lot of noise as workers were coming in and out. Not so much bad, but a but comical, I dare you not to be startled by the flush of the toilet in room 510!
