MediocreSep. 20192.5
Nothing at all
They ‘lost’ my bag with all my clothes, camera etc... for 12 hours only for it to magically appear after the police got called and a report filed. Dirty, everything broken, a single microwave doesn’t count as a kitchen to me, the bathroom was a toilet and then a tap coming out of the wall, no sink at all, the light in my bedroom didn’t work, bed was terrible, whole place was vile and a waste of money DONT STAY HERE

Super friendly staff and super clean room. Metro is super close to get to downtown in a few minutes.
The doors did not look that secure, could probably be opened with a push, bath tub could need some renovation (clean, but aged).

Only morning time lady staff was truthful and told about facts regarding internet and other information
They don’t have internet for rooms. Booing.com should update this. Property was with worse bed and cannot sleep because it was raised form middle. Also mess and full of toilet papers bin in bath and was not cleaned. Very expensive and far from most attractions

The location was good. 5 minute walk from the subway.
The staff were miserable and they never had towels for the guests. The towels had not been washed and ready until gone 3pm both days I was there. The bathrooms were disgusting. Grease and grime and black stains in the bath tub. Flys around the windowsill and bath. The doors in the rooms did not shut properly so you had to slam them which was annoying after a while. I would not stay here again and certainly is not worth $80 for 2 nights.
