I must say, this hotel certainly had some quirks. The housekeeping seemed to have taken a vacation. The room wasn't cleaned and the trash wasn't emptied during my entire stay. breakfast wasn't included with my room. I was expecting a bit more for the price I paid.

dingy viewawful coffee
The view from my room faced the back of the hotel. It looked quite dingy. A green light in the ceiling stayed on constantly. Someone put a plaster over it, but it didn't help much! The room never got dark. The noise from the hallway was noticeable, and there was no fan, so the room was hot. I barely slept. Breakfast cost extra, and the coffee was awful. I could not drink it the second day.
