Location, location, location. Otherwise overpriced.

Liked:Location was great. Good water pressure.

Disliked:Had to drag luggage up stairs (there was no way to access checkin without doing so). Rooms & common areas were much too hot. No AC and limited window opening and airflow in the rooms. Common areas seemed run-down / awkward. Shower was hard to get in and out of.

Liked:Rooms were very warm without air conditioning. Difficult to locate fan near window to draw in cooler air ( lack of nearby electrical outlets). Bath tub way too high and difficult to enter and exit.
