The first room I was given was absolutely disgusting. It smelled like smoke and the walls had a film of nicotine as if someone had been smoking in there for years even though the establishment was “smoke free”. I told the front desk and he showed me other empty rooms and allowed me to choose. Customer service was great thought. New room still had dingy sheets with cigarette burns in it. Homeless people stay around the hotel as well.

Not a Boutique Hotel.

Pet friendly. Should not be charging a resort fee. Thin, thin, thin walls and loud guests. Friendly front staff. No daily housekeeping, coffee machine or hair dryer. No bugs but interior falling apart - sheets and towels were clean though. Disappointed by how much I paid.

It’s disgusting. Saw 6 roaches in the span of an hour and a half. We literally left before bedtime and booked a separate hotel. I would give zero if I could and would shout to the rooftops about how no one should stay at this hotel. It’s gross, not taken care of, creepy artwork, people live there, trash everywhere, and the room smelled heavily of cigarettes and dead person. Absolutely avoid.
