"My friends and I stayed for just a Night here. The room we had I would say is quite big and cozy. The smell of the room is okay and not terrible. Some old building sometimes gives terrible smell but the room we have doesnt maybe because they have no inside smoking, which is nice. I think they keep the room clean but there was an old stained arm chair in the room. Im not a germaphobe but I would trust myself to seat in it. There was a burned out bulb in the sink area. I woulnd mind it but some wish they could have maintain it. The free breakfast they offer is okay and offeres basic items like cereals, waffles/toast/oatmeal/yogurt. The front desk service we had that night was very nice and accommodating, explained everything well to us."
