central locationdamp smellunclean bedding
the location was central, quite close to the south pier.
the room reeked of dampness and i suspect a bit of mold (hard to tell in such conditions). the bedding felt mismatched, and honestly, i've seen cleaner public restrooms. it gave the impression that thorough cleaning was not a high priority.

Subpar Stay with Hygiene Issues

poor cleanlinessmoldy shower
My room had a bad smell, likely from dampness. The cleanliness was not good. I noticed hairs on the bedsheets and what looked like stains. The bathroom had mold in the shower area. I expect better for the price I paid.
