I'm on a bit of tour looking at all the low-priced rooms in the area. This one would have been at least good despite the hard-used property but when I walked into the room the heat was off as usual, and the room was absolutely freezing. I also saw the door was definitely not closing well or sealing either. I turned on the heater and saw the last user had set the thermostat as far as it would go (86f). This wasn't a good sign at all. The walls are, I think cinder block and so once they are cold they stay that way. There is a big glass floor to ceiling window in every room which also doesn't help. Two hours later I actually went out to get my small heater from my storage and bring it back to heat the room, the rooms own heater was barely functioning. This would be a better room in spring but in the dead of winter it was definitely a bad plan. I wonder if the A/C works any better than the heaters? Beware. On the pro sound: The TV worked and had a good selection of channels. The sheets were clean, enough covers, no bedbugs and the room was clean. There was an industrial guest laundry washer and dryer, inexpensive and clean. You must show up with quarters and detergent, nothing was vended. The bathroom was OK but there was just tub with no slip-preventive so if you are a shower person be careful.
