4/10 Kohtalainen
10. helmikuuta 2022
Background: I was traveling for work; I am normally a Hampton Inn/Holiday Inn Express guy, but this location was much more convenient for my site.
The building is a ~200 year old former boarding house for the immigrant workers at the piano factory... I was hoping for cozy and cheerful, but it was more dingy and depressing.
The first thing that struck me coming inside was the smell--a strong odor of cleaning chemicals covering up smoke or other scents... maybe I'm sensitive, but it made me feel a bit queasy. The building looks dilapidated from the exterior; the interior furnishings look like a bit of a rummage sale. Lots of water stains on the ceiling tiles in the room.
It is a large building, but I was the only one staying there... a bit creepy... made worse by the fact that the lobby area is a closed-down bar/restaurant (certificate on the wall dated 2018).
Nothing was visibly dirty--the staff probably do what they can to keep things clean... but the building has a lot of deferred maintenance.
The WiFi was also spotty--I had no signal from my room; I had to go out to the closed-down bar in order to get work done.
When I mentioned that I stayed there to a local, and they winced and responded, "It's a bit more of an SRO than a hotel... I wish I could have given you a recommendation otherwise."
Overall--if you're the Hampton Inn demographic, you probably shouldn't stay here.
