Yuk. Only stay if you have to.
Very shabby. Missing smoke detector. Hair in the tub. Dirty fingerprints on bathroom wall. Room number was a piece of paper taped to the door. View was a storage container. I left at 5:00 AM by choice. Paint job and caulking in the bathroom looked like it was done by a five year old. Tub stained Gross.

Bra läge, rymliga rum två matställen precis bredvid som har öppet länge och för frukost samt promenadavstånd till ett jättemysigt bryggeri och resturangställe.
