All of the staff at the hotel were very friendly, and moderately helpful. The hotel itself was rather run down. The bed was very uncomfortable, the pillows very hard, and the blankets very thin. It was a non smoking room, but all of the furniture had cigarette burns, the bathroom smelled very heavily of cigarette smoke every morning, which seeped out into the rest of the hotel room, I think the room below was a smoking room. The shower had mold over all of the walls, yellow stains on the bathroom walls, (I’m assuming from cigarette smoke), but lots of hot water. The cleaning staff came into the room daily, but really only made the bed and replaced towels, little actual cleaning, and the sheets were not changed once during our week stay. It was a good location, easy for exploring the city, close to transportation, shopping and dining. The breakfast service was very nice.
