"Very good place compared to the price and the area. Large room, clean, but typical old building vibe with carpeted floor, and old building smell. They were not distinctively strong. Coin laundry down stairs could be useful. Good restaurants around the area. Shampoo, Conditioner, and body wash were too small for 2 Queen beds room"
