Ok for one night stay
For the price you paid the one night stay was ok. The elevator was no working. Our room had only one channel on tv. The room curtains appeared to have several stains. During our stay we had to evacuate due to fire alarm being pulled. It was a lot of confusion because people didn’t know if it was real or not. The area is very sketchy. For the price it was nice to have comfortable bed and hot shower.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The staff was incredibly nice and the rooms are pretty large, which is nice compared to many small hotels. Though, there was so many broken and malfunctioning things that you could tell that maintenance and the company was both cheap and lazy. I was there three weeks and the handicapped door was broken the entire time the elevator would not close unless you pushed the door and it would rattle often. It’s in a nice location geographically, being close to 9th and 6th street but they definitely need to do a little investment and there is quite a bit of homeless people outside the surrounding area.
