The Location is great, staff members are friendly. Only the shower could be more clean and I could put a lock on the Drawer cause it was broken.

The advertisement states rooms have air-conditioning. The hotel does not have air-conditioning. The Staff is aware of it in the app is aware of it, but they will not remove the advertisement for air condition. The inside rooms have no air circulation, and the city vents are turned off. It was very hot and muggy. My request for a discount was denied. I ended up leaving early to find another place because I cannot sleep in the heat. Location is within walking distance of everything downtown
