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.

I checked into this hotel and it was extremely dirty. Stains in the carpet in the bedroom. Dirt ring around the bathtub, marking on the walls, paint chipping, and a very poor AC system. It also reeked of a very strong spray paint smell. Additionally, the walls are very thin and you can hear everything happening in the very tiny rooms next to you. You can get way more bang for your buck elsewhere..

Its a very decent price for a lovely place. Soap is included but a few amenities are a little poor like drinkable water in the rooms, lack of easy control over the lighting, and needing a couple chairs instead of the one for a couple's room. Eating in the hotel for a romantic night is always a possibility, and no one wants to stain the bed. That said the place was very clean and gorgeous, with good wifi, easy walking distance to wonderful ethnic restaurants, and the bed was quite comfortable, the provided soaps of good quality, and a solid deal for the price.

Location is really good but amenities could have been much better, i got no coffee refills in my room after the first night so had to go get some, the check in procedure was confusing and all online, there was hardly ever any staff at the front desk over 4 days and you get into the hotel and your room with a 5 digit code, no key which is very weird.
