The building is under construction. The sign on the front of the building is currently removed. They start working between 7-7:30am and are very loud. The hotel itself is very noisy. You can hear the traffic as if the windows are open. You hear sirens all night. The neighborhood isn't nice. Very run down area with lots of homeless walking around, hanging out in the parking lot and they are also very loud throughout the night. The credit card reader wasn't working at checking so we had a hard time handling parking payment and deposit. There was a very angry women at breakfast that kept screaming cuss words while her many children ran screaming through the dining area and lobby and the staff completely ignored it. All guests were very uncomfortable with her being there. The room was worn...scuff marks etc. but did seem fairly clean. The lobby had a strange smell, but the room didn't. I will NOT be staying here in the future.

DO NOT MAKE THE MISTAKE I MADE AND GO HERE TO DAVE MONEY!!! YOU SOEND MONEY AND TRANSPORTATION AND I HAD TO PAY FOR A NEW HOTEL ANYWAY!! I got there and waiting 15 mins for someone to be at the desk, I was rushed through paperwork and forms by a very unpleasant woman at the front desk. I see random people in the lobby, most of which were not staying at this hotel. I get to my room and there's bugs in the bathroom. You can hear everything outside. It's not ideal. I thought I'd look past all that because it was affordable and a roof over my head. Until night came around and a woman was out front screaming full force for hours about how not okay she is and if you liked further down the parking lot, 50+ people just loitering, definitely not hotel patrons. Between the near constant horns and sirens into the night and the screaming and noise outaide, it is not worth the cheap price. Not to mention you have to walk a ways to any bus stations in very sketchy neighborhoods so it's safer to just take an Uber. And an Uber every day at least twice a day, you might as well just pay for a better hotel away from this property.. stay as far away as you can. It's in the Trinidad neighborhood and police didn't even care about all the chaos happening at night. They drive by through lights to avoid it. They patrolled the area. But not to do anything about the incredibly concerning behavior. I left after my first night and hat to pay for another hotel. Because I felt so uneasy in this area.
