The shower is very small but had amazing water pressure. Best shower I've had at a hotel in several years. Unfortunately, we only stayed there for about 12 hours before having to leave for our flight home. So we didn't get to really experience much of the hotel, but the staff was friendly, the bed was comfortable and the hotel seems safe despite being in a terrible neighborhood. The area is swarming with homeless drug addicts.
