Everything was broken

The elevators were broken. They gave us the 4th floor room. The whole hotel smelled like mildew. Tiles in the bathroom were broken. Coffee machine broken. The stairwell was also warm. We were only offered a snack for the inconvenience. And it was too late to get a full refund to go anywhere else.

Below Average Experience

Internet was out. Weird smell. Doors are thin so that the sound of the elevator door is too loud in the room. Over-all older and dingier than expected. Too expensive for the quality of rooms and amenities at hotel.
