We enjoyed the location and walkability of the area. When we checked in it was evident the bathtub had not been cleaned. The front desk receptionist offered to move us but when she checked there were no available rooms. The ladies at the front desk were very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately though our room, specifically the bathroom, was not up to standard.
