Disgusting.

The alarm clock couldnt be set as all the buttons were stuck...the fan in the bathroom didnt work. Breakfast was a joke. They didnt even have creamer for coffee. Sections of the walls had holes around the edges and mold.

It did its job as a place to lay our head for the night. Ut don't expect any frills. Building is old and clearly needs some TLC, but our room was clean and staff were pleasant.
