I couldn’t get into the building or my room on the first night using their key app. They brought me a physical key that didn’t work the second night. The staff is wonderful, their key and access management system is horrible.

When I checked in I had no issues getting in and using the key app. However that’s when my issues began. The art in my room was of a cartoon woman in a bikini and “sexy” was plastered everywhere. It was anything but, it was offensive. Then the bass laden terrible music began. From about 7:30 onward. It was probably coming from off-property but I could not sleep. At about 11pm they finally put my in a new room which was still loud from street noise but the bass from a sound system wasn’t vibrating the whole room. Kenneth from the front desk was very helpful and understanding. He gets five stars. Amenities, condition, everything else is 2 stars.

Not as expected, unfortunately was disappointed. Main entrance was always locked. While building was old there were no fans or ways of airflow. Shower head broken. Room had no local channels especially during an important event such as the super bowl.

This place isn't a hotel, it's a hostel and it shouldn't be called a hotel. Most of the hotels don't have bathrooms in each room, and from what I heard of the public bathrooms they were not clean. My room had BED BUGS. I didn't see them until the morning when I woke up, but there was one on my pillow (crawling), and one on the shower handle. There was also floss on the shower handle which leads me to believe nothing in the room was clean. I've stayed in hostels for years but this place was gross. I've tried to contact the property (when I checked out there was no one to be found and I've called with no answer) to alert them of the bed bugs. But I would NOT trust this place or stay here again. It's not worth it.

Great location, most of the staff seemed nice. Bed was nice but the shower was clogged and too gross to use. The spartan amenities would have been fine if I had been prepared but it was not clear from the listing. Won’t be returning or recommending.
