Would not recommend

The room was dirty and some things were even broken. All the extra locks on the door were broken and the door had a huge gap. Mattress was very springy and there was a weird smell.

* Front desk guy was rude. * Shower is not working well. Very little water coming out of the shower head. * There should be hairdryer in the washroom * There should be mirror in the bedroom * Sofa in the living room is heavily stained and looks dirty.
