"I don't recall seeing anything that said I'd have to climb 3 flights of antiquated stairs to get to the room I reserved. The toilet paper in the shared bathroom ran out and when I asked for more, the manager was surpised there wasn't anymore in the bathroom. She went to get another roll - and handed me a <1/2 roll of toilet paper! The towel I was given was clean, but thin and much used previously."
