In addition to being in a neighborhood that reflects deep American poverty, the word that would best define it is dirty. Everything is dirty, the room, the bathroom, the entrance staircase... When I arrived and was shown to my room, the smell of cigarettes and the smell of people who had previously occupied the room filled the room as soon as the door was opened. After seeing a second room, smelling of weed this time, I was offered a third without the smell of cigarettes or weed, but dirty... The manager had taken the time to take the toilet spray to perfume the room when I was waiting at the hotel entrance. The sheets, towels, table and sink were dirty (traces of mascara, pantyhose, etc.). As for the floor, it deserves a paragraph of its own (sticky enough to hold your best posters for the next decade). I was initially refused breakfast, even though it was included in the price, because “there are fewer people than last week”. I insisted and got a reheated coffee, probably from the week before. On the day of departure, I asked for my bag to be kept for the day, and was asked to pay $20. It was too much! I refused and expressed my dissatisfaction with the stay. He agreed to keep my bag free of charge on condition that I didn't write any negative comments, “that's up to you”, I was told. As a result, this hotel fits in perfectly with its surroundings and the people who live there. Tourists, it is to be avoided absolutely, as is the neighborhood.

Easily the Worst Hotel I've Ever Stayed at

Rough neighborhood. Screaming people outside and in the hallway made sleeping extremely difficult. I had multiple people try to come into my room in the middle of the night. Eventually, someone started banging on my door while jimmying the handle. I had to jam the chair infront of the doorhandle for an extra layer of security. Sheets were dirty, overall a layer of stickiness on everything in the room...it just felt grimy. I only stayed one night of my two night reservation because of how unsafe I felt. Owner refused to refund the 2nd night because I didnt tell him about the issue until after the fact, but it felt too unsafe to leave my room at the time it was happening.

Sad state of affairs

Someone from the hotel called me because they were closing at midnight and I had not checked in yet. They said they cancelled my reservation and hung up on me! I had to go find another hotel at 2am and pay a lot more. AND they didn't refund my money.

The lady on reception was lovely, unfortunately it’s the only good thing I can say about the place. The location is terrible, so many homeless people in large groups outside made it feel very unsafe and I can’t even describe the smell. I had to get taxis straight from the door to where I needed to go, luckily it was only for one night. I suspect the homeless are using this hotel as it’s so cheap. They are either partying or arguing in the corridor until at least 4am. It feels very unsafe, I didn’t sleep. The room itself came with dirty bedding, bath sheets and a horrible smell. HONESTLY PLEASE pay the extra and go somewhere clean, safe and comfortable. I waited until it went quiet in the corridor and left as soon as I could in the early hours.
