Natasha

Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I booked a king room and was put in a double bed room with no explanation. When I mentioned it to the front desk, I was told there was no king room available? You could hear people walking above the room and in the hall and hear people talking through the walls. Traffic was loud, and there’s a train nearby evidently. Needless to say we didn’t sleep well. Old and dingy feel and smell. Would not stay here again.
