    The whole place sorely needs to be gutted down and re-built. Bed was old and the sheets were musty, luckily I brought my own pillow case and blanket. Breakfast was late and forgettable. When we came back to our room after venturing through the neighborhood, it smelled strongly of we*d. Parking is free but the spots are barely sized for compact cars. Sadly we could not cancel as it was reserved through a third party site. Second floor is not wheelchair accessible. There’s no escalator, just stairs. Although we did not encounter any bed bugs, this was still the worst stay of our trip.
