Do not recommend
The bathroom was disgusting, there was mold in the bathtub and behind the bathroom was filthy. The family in 128 were smoking right at the stairs so all you smell is cigarette smoke in our room. Dogs barking all night and all we heard were people outside our room day throughout the night. The door to the room is not secure, it’s very flimsy and there’s a very large crack. We went off the reviews and decided to stay there but I would not recommend.
