Terrible! Elevator was broken, stairs were super narrow and we walked up 4 flights. Waited outside for over an hour for an access code when we were told it would be 5 minutes. There was a TV in the room, but no remote and no buttons to turn it in manually. Also lots of open light fixtures. Worst place I’ve ever stayed!

The website pics are very deceiving, it’s so small.

I guess there was a picture at one point. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Please don’t stay here, the photos are catfishing. I feel scammed the place was so dirty there was blood stains on the bathroom wall and bed. The door didn’t lock, the handle was broken, and the room had a horrible stench.

Hotel night from hell The hotel has no sign outside of the building so it's impossible to find In order to get into the hotel you have to wait and talk to the front desk manager who asks you million unnecessary questions like why are you staying at the hotel here. Right before I was entering the elevator to go up to the 1st floor to the room another guest arrived and was trying to get into the hotel as well but couldn't manage to since he di due make happen since he did not have AUS phone number to call the front desk. I stayed on the phone and let the other guest use my phone to communicate with the front desk manager and was able to manage that he also could finally enter his hotel room. Never have I ever stayed at a hotel which made it so insanely difficult to enter your Hotel room. After approximately 35 minutes of trying to get into the hotel room I finally arrived. After opening the door the entire room smells mustyThe room is dirty, footsteps on the floor.... The chair in the room is completely rotten.... After trying to switch on the TV it didn't work so I opened the closet only to find that all cables we're detached and I had to plug them all in including the antenna cable... TV is still not working. I reset the cable box myself and ended up making it work. I put in my shoes every time I went to the bathroom because the floor and little carpet are disgustingly dirty.

No housekeeping, no front desk, don’t book here.

I arrived after 4PM & there was no front desk/worker, my room was not cleaned, I call customer service & they said housekeeping would come, I waited an hour and no one came so I looked on all stories of the building & seen no housekeeping whatsoever. The fridge was leaking, dirty towels from previous guest in the bathroom, needles on floor, dirty floor, dirty walls. I had to get a refund and stay somewhere else.

DO NOT STAY HERE. Genuinely spend the extra money and go somewhere else. We got to our hotel at 6 and our room wasn’t even cleaned. We got to our new room and it smelled like urine, the floors weren’t clean, the bed smelled, ac/heating did not work, and there was no hot water. We called the customer service line and he was essentially no help (and talks over you- super unprofessional) the whole place was dirty and I’m convinced the elevator is about to break. Also there were bugs all over the room. Do not stay here I’m begging you like- they should be paying you to stay here.

The service was poor, and facilities differed from advertise. The room had multiple broken items such as the shower lever, desk leg, tilted/stained chair. Bathroom door did not close, room entrance door was missing the strike plate and did not seem to close properly. A roach was found in the kitchenette counter, closet was dirty, room window did not block any sound. The loud noises from the street could be heard in the room and bathroom. No personal in the front desk, when calling no one answered and had to wait until they decided to return the call. Would not classify as hotel, since it felt more like a dingy motel or hostel. We slept the first night and left early next morning, we could not stay there anymore, did not feel safe. The only elevator was broken and looked ancient, like the hunchback of Notre Dame had to pull it up. The area around the hotel was full of homeless people and felt very unsafe, which fit the ambiance in the hotel. The only reason to stay there is to not sleep outdoors.
