Great place, great location. It’s a bit non-traditional- there’s no door person or a lobby… but the property is well managed and maintained. The cleaning crew is efficient and friendly, but also very quick. There’s no silverware or glasses, but the fridge and BevMo across the street provide just fine. Also, its hot water and water pressure are great!

Do not stay here. We arrived at the hotel, there was nobody there to greet us and the hotel immediately did not look like it did on the ad. We then went up to the room on a very old and unsafe elevator and the room did not have light for the bathroom or lock for the main door and the door trim looked like someone had opened the door forcefully. The doors were dirty and the sheets had stains. We had to leave. I booked a hotel elsewhere. I’d like a refund.

To be fair it was worth about $75 but no heat no AC there was graffiti in the room. there is no front desk staff and the phone number provided was answered 1/4 times i tried and the one time i was patronized and treated disrespectfully. Dont go number two as the toulet clogs almost everytime and the hot water runs out fairly quickly

There was dog feces on the stairwell of the third floor. Also, I had to wait 30 min for two days to take a shower since there was no hot water. I relayed both concerns to management and I was told that the other guests may have used up all the hot water. Plus, the shower is extremely narrow.

There was no one onsite to talk to about any of the issues I had. I arrived early (12pm) simply to leave my bags, with the understanding that the room may not be ready to actually check in yet. Right as I was about to use the code, I heard noises from inside the room. The previous hotel stayers (I’m assuming) were still there, and a man stepped out while I was in the hallway trying to figure out what to do, in no rush only to take out his trash (which was in the hallway floor). The entire building reeked of disturbing smells, there were strange noises, and no one to fix it. Please do NOT stay here!!! I had to go to a different hotel last minute because I felt so unsafe. I didn’t confront the man because I am a female traveler and I wasn’t going to put myself in that situation. This place should be shut down. The pictures are NOTHING like what is advertised, I genuinely feel scammed. No clue where any good reviews are coming from because there’s no way anyone thinks this place is good in any way. Have yet to contact management for a refund and explanation for what I experienced, but many Google reviews suggest it won’t matter and I likely will not get my money back. Lesson learned, READ the reviews, don’t just rely on the stars.

Nobody told me that this hotel was a converted SRO building. I didn’t like my stay there. My forest night there, I had people knocking on my door. I didn’t answer it. I read in previous reviews that some people have gotten their rooms broken into on the first night. On the floor above me, some guy was also abusing his girlfriend. I called 911. I was supposed to stay Friday night through Monday morning, but I only stayed Friday night and left for another hotel Saturday morning. DO NOT BOOK HERE. The rooms were falsely advertised. The steps going from the basement to the 2nd floor smell like piss, not to mention people smoked inside their rooms. If I could give this 0 stars I would. This place was not what I had imagined it to be.

I was one of those people that didn’t bother to read the reviews. And of course that put me in the wrong place. PLEASE READ THE REVIEWS. I will also be uploading videos and pictures on google reviews for ya’ll to know. I planned to extend my stay but when I called customer service the guy I talked to was extremely rude. No matter how I tried to change the mood by politely saying “sir” he kept answering me in a rude and as if he was mad ‘tone’. That was my biggest red flag before even knowing what this place holds. Thankfully no homeless people were there when I went in. The security code they have seem to be fine and modern. Going in, luckily they probably fixed the piss odor problem in the other reviews so I wasnt hit by it. But there was definitely a smell of musk. Tried using the elevator but there was unknown fluid inside so I didnt bother. Stairs are pretty old looking and the building itself looks like it was a rundown apt. turned into a “hotel”. Walls are thin and when somebody uses the bathroom on the other-side (other room) ud hear it. Thankfully the room I got in was relatively clean. But I definitely felt unsafe being there and the air definitely didn’t feel clean to breathe either. Would I book again over here? Maybe if I really NEEDED a place to crash with a microwave and fridge. BUT PLEASE if you can find somewhere else that’s better, do so. There are more places and hotels out there.
