I’m not sure if it being remodeled now or recently was. There was a lot of trash near the 2nd floor entrance. The room had almost all of the bulbs out above the sink. The room also felt very humid. We tried tuning the air conditioning to a cooler temperature to get it out.

It was nice there was several places to eat with in walking distance. And a grocery store less than a block away. What I was disappointed with was the room was not finished from the renovation that was going on and one of the beds box was covered in blood and wound could not lock the dead bolt. And after the first of two nights are keys needed reactivated.
