late checkoutluggage storagefirm pillowsdrafty windowsthin wallsweak wifi

i loved the late checkout option allowed until 1pm it helped SO much. also they stored my luggage for a few hours after i checked out. the bed with the firm pillows really provided a good night's rest.

the windows felt a little drafty all the noises from the street were very audible. walls were SO thin guests in other rooms could be heard easily. wifi barely worked , made planning outings difficult.

underwhelming stay, wouldn't rush back

dirty bedinconvenient hook

the room was okay, i guess, but the only hook in the bathroom was directly over the toilet. seriously? i mean, i'm tall, but even i don't want my stuff falling into the bowl. also, the bed sheets had some questionable stains, and housekeeping never bothered to change them . it was like, 'here's your room, deal with it'.
