“Do not be fooled by the pictures in the internet. It is a disgusting place to stay.”
It was run down and they put us in the BASEMENT... Nothing like the pictures showed. Tiny little room, bathroom door didn't even shut. (No latch) The walls were filthy. The stairwell down to the dungeon smelled like something was rotting in the walls. The door isn't sealed so you can hear everyone and everything. Absolutely disgusting... I will never go there again
