The property is rundown; the room is ok, but the mattress sheets ha e mildew smell and all the sheets and pillow cases look old and dirty. Receptionist was nice and helpful. He changed the sheets for us.

Below averageSolo stay
Insalubre. Inhabitable. C'est sale et très mal entretenu. Oui, il y a 2 cuisines mais les ronds de cuisson fonctionnent à moitié, poêle et casseroles en mauvais état. Ça sent le vieux gras. Les matelas trop mous et les couvertures de lit du siècle dernier. Le réceptionniste est gentil mais, le pauvre, que peut-il faire.
