Better places to stay for the money
I was surprised at how rundown this hotel was. From the front door, to the dining room and the rooms, it was shabby and needed a lot of maintenance. Beware of the basement rooms (Garden Level)...they are quite scary as you make your way through a series of doors and hallways which make you feel as though you are getting farther and farther away from anyone who could help you if you needed it. Mine looked out onto a dirty little patio table with an ashtray full of cigarette butts. The door to the room was a full length window covered by mini blinds, and you could easily see into the hallway on either side of the blinds. I asked for, and was moved the next day, to a first floor room which was only slightly better. On the third and last reserved day, I went out for a walk in the morning, and arrived back to my room at 10 a.m. to find it occupied by a maintenance man who was replacing the sink and had cardboard boxes and equipment all over the bed and the floor. I walked around the neighborhood and found two excellent and well maintained hotels for about the same price. I only wish I had found these other hotels earlier.
