The room had a humid smell when we walked in. Smelled old and rancid. The carpet was dirty, furniture was old and paint was chipped. The rooms could definitely use a face lift.

It was fine. A very basic, bare bones hotel. Walls are paper thin- heard every word of the neighbors conversation. Elevator was stinky but the rest was fine.

Stayed 2 nights. Both mornings coffee machine was broken. Why couldn't you have went across the street to the Dunkin Donuts and bought some coffee for you guests?

The pool was really cold and had a lot of stuff floating, wasn’t very clear. Bathroom in the room was visibly dirty and had a mildew odor - we could tell it was barely, if at all, wiped down. Neither plug ins in the lamp worked. The faucet in the sink area was extremely powerful and sprayed us and everywhere around the sink when we turned it on. Hidden $20 pet fee *per night* upon check in. Overall very unimpressed with the stay for the price we payed.
