Kayak overbooked this spot so they had no rooms available when I arrived. Needed to find alternate arrangements. Have not received refund yet and will not be booking this location again.

Pros (+) It was dead cheap, the staff were reasonably polite and friendly. 24hr check-in is useful.
Cons (-) You get what you pay for, so don't expect good bedding or complementary anything. The lockers didn't work on the room, so no secure storage.

Cons (-) I had to sleep with clothes on because the room (210) was very cold. Also the bathroom was not clean. Someone else had left a pizza box in the garbage can and it remained there for two more days.
