2/10 Poor

Grimy, grotty, beaten...
To say that this property has seen better days is an understatement. Those days, at best, were last century. The lobby is dark and cluttered, but not too off-putting. That happens as soon as you walk into your room, which was probably last refurbished in the 1980's. My room had a unique feature: A small davit/derrick bolted to the floor in front of the window facing an alley. Used in conjunction with a pulley system it is likely used to get oversized mattresses to the upper floors as the elevators can barely accommodate 2 people, let alone a king-sized mattress. You step up approximately a foot to get into the bathroom, which is gross and grotty and was probably last cleaned about the same time the hotel was refurbished - 1980's. Mold and mildew throughout and dimly lit by a single 40 watt bulb. The tub/shower has no curtain and the tiling around the tub is strategically designed to sluice all the water onto the floor, flooding the bathroom and turning it into a dangerous slippery slide. The room itself had one light directly above the entrance that provided some illumination but the remaining 2 "reading lights" were 40 watt or less and kept shorting out. The A/C was fixed at 22 C., no matter what you MIGHT like to set it too. The location is a busy street without much to support tourists as there are no convenient restaurants or shops. Save yourself the frustration and give this place a pass.
