THE PROS: Cheap Rooms THE CONS: You get what you pay for I wish I could say good things about this place. We stayed there once a few years ago and it wasn't bad. But it seems to have gone down hill. The Rooms: the rooms themselves are clean, the bed comfortable. The furniture was very old and worn, looks like it was bought from one of those used hotel furniture outlets. None of the drawers opened or closed properly and there were TONS of chips and scratches all over the dresser and night table. There was a mini-fridge and a microwave which worked fine. The Bathroom was stocked with very simple, institutional-type towels, scratchy and not very big. There were just enough towels for two people to use one time. Breakfast: the Continental Breakfast consisted of your choice of

ONE bagel, or One Muffin, or One danish, and ONE piece of fruit, either an apple or an orange. These you had to order the night before and pick up the next morning at the front desk. Your muffin and fruit came in a brown paper bag with one container of jelly and a plastic knife. Upstairs there was coffee and fruit juice in the old breakfast bar area. Why they choose to serve breakfast this way as opposed to laying out a traditional continental breakfast is beyond me. It must be very labor intensive to go through everyone's order, bag each muffin individually in a baggie, then bag everything in a paper bag and label each bag by room number. It just seems tacky to do it this way. And the products themselves - the danish, the muffin - are HORRIBLE. I mean, you'd do better to buy a honey bun out of the vending machine than to try and eat one of these. The Property: Be prepared, this hotel used to be a hospital, and it still looks like one in every respect. The corridors are very spartan, white linoleum floors and glaring lights. No decor whatsoever. You have to walk through double doors with little windows in them to get to your room, just like in a hospital. The elevator broke down the first night we were there and we had to walk 4 flights of stairs. The young lady behind the front desk seemed to care less. We watched as other guests walked up to the elevator and pressed the call button, thinking surely she would tell them it was out of order, but she just looked down and ignored them. We finally had to let them know it wasn't working. There must be minimal staffing on the weekend because Sunday morning the front of the property was FILTHY. The trashcans were overflowing and there was trash everywhere, all over the front of the property. The icing on the cake was when we misplaced our room key. We had to wait at the desk for the clerk to finish whatever he was doing before he could go upstairs and let us in with his passkey. (You mean you don't have more than one key for the rooms?). Finally he gave us a second key but not without informing us that there was a $20 charge for a lost key. Seriously? I've stayed in hotels all around the world and NEVER have I been charged for a lost room key. Wow. We paid $80 per night to stay there, we'd have been better off at a Motel 6. We really wanted to support this place since it's owned by a ministry, but if they're going to be in the hotel business, they need to run it like a hotel, not just rent rooms in an old hospital. Very disappointed.
