2.5 Poor
Pros:Nothing! It was cheap but it was still too much!
Cons:The smell of mildew in the room..crawling bugs in the bathroom (looked like potato bugs, the bugs that roll themselves up into balls).. dark and dingy... bathtub mat in the tub was very un-inviting... I couldn't sleep the entire night, for covering my nose & mouth from the smell! The room door had check out time as 11 a.m.(they had not got around to changing the signs)! Of course.
