My husband and I booked a private room. It was small. The bed was hard. The noise from the street was unbearable. The internet connection was lousy. All this, I could tolerate, however,...the kitchen area downstairs was FILTHY!!! (Moldy coffee pots, dirty dishes, unswept floor.) And, (here's the kicker) the shared bathroom had needles and syringes in the bin. I'm not saying our neighbours were junkies (perhaps they were just diabetic) but it is gross that they wouldn't put their stuff in a hazmat jar and that the cleaning staff hadn't emptied the bin in what appeared to be days! Okay, okay, but, here's the kicker: there were clusters of small, brown, ovular objects on the floor that looked distinctly like rodent turds!!!! And, I didn't notice them until after we'd already stayed one night!!!!!!! This was not the best pre-marathon experience to have shared and my night. Because we'd booked in advance, the staff refused to refund what we'd payed for the second night and made no apologies about the mess and insisted they did not have a problem with rodents. What a waste of money! I'm just glad I did not "catch" anything from staying there.
