Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The outside of the hotel was very run down and in a sketchy area of the city. There was a lot of garbage piled along the fence separating the property from the pedestrian path behind the building. Once we were in the room, we were missing towels. Of the complete set we had, one was obviously used. The floor was swept in common areas, but in the corners, it was dusty. The staff at the front desk was very friendly and nice. If I could rate the staff alone, it would be an easy 10. But the hotel itself was old, run down, and dirty.

Staff was friendly and attentive. Breakfast was a bit lacking. Maybe a waffle maker? Or even fresh, cold water to serve would have been helpful.
