When I arrived at this property there was no one there. I was assigned a room in the basement. The room itself was fine, but the only window was covered with bars. When I checked to make sure that I could open the window from the inside (very important for safety), the latch was rusted shut. I tried calling and texting the number provided, but no one from the hotel ever replied. When I finally found a staff member, he said that he couldn't do anything to help me. I eventually had to leave the hotel and go somewhere else. I think it's very important for people staying here to know: a) rooms in the basement may not be safe -- please make sure to check!; b) there is no one available to help you if anything goes wrong at this property.

Very dingy. Room was extremely small. The bathroom windows didn’t lock and there was a fire escape outside, had to push a chair against the door for my girlfriend to feel safe in the room. The hand soap was empty and they were missing half the things they said they had in the “communal supply closet.” Would not stay here again. Stupid price for a horrible place to stay.

Not possible to contact anyone at any point. You have to be lucky and be there at a random time when someone happens to be at their desk. Very poor service.

I like the check in process and how we didn’t have to speak to anyone. The rooms were a nice size, bathrooms a bit small but it’s whatever. Only thing that sucked is our TV screen picture was blown out of proportion so we couldn’t watch anything.

The room was clean and bed was comfortable but it was very dated and not well maintained. There is not staff on site, so checking in with the link was frustrating because it wasn't working properly. Not the greatest experience and wouldn't recommend...good location though.

The model is 'low staffing' but they were able to help when they were there. My room was ready a bit later than check-in time. Their keyless lock on the door didn't work and I had to go back and forth with the staff to get a new one (luckily they were around) and have them open the door with their fob to get in. The room was kind of damp feeling and had a smell of mildew. The room was small and the furnishings and condition of the shower, carpet, etc. were a bit worn. There was no shower curtain in the tiny bathroom which made the whole bathroom get wet when you shower. They've charged me an extra $100 upon check out so know I have to coordinate with them to make sure they refund it...
