Rooms

Some bathrooms in the rooms are extremely small, have rusted areas, filthy tub/shower and toilet seats that are very low to the ground. There are also reports of uncleanliness, such as hair all over the bathroom floors, roaches in some rooms and dirty sofas. Some rooms have no closet or mirrors over a dresser and limited amenities. On the plus side, some guests appreciate the quietness and cleanliness of their rooms, comfortable bedding and good location that's near bars, restaurants and has a historical feel.
