I had my wallet stolen, yet had physical cash from my bank to pay deposit for the night but thrown out into the street at night and forced to go home early while my bank was investigating these people who took my bank card testing it at a grocery store. Absolutely no empathy. Outrageous treatment.

Actually liked this place when we came in January 2025 so decided to stay again in June 2025. Best shower ever, promise! The water pressure is amazing! Although the property is older and the area isn’t great (but that’s downtown for you), the rooms are clean and we love the retro vibe. Great pastry shop (Paris Baguette) and burger place (Shake Shake) in the same building, and there is 1 to 2 taco trucks that park downstairs across the street every night and open till late, those tacos were bomb! CUTE rooftop bar and pool too! Maybe my biggest complaint is that it always smells like weed right outside the elevators on the lobby floor, people smoke right outside the door. And not that I can really complain about this but they put us in the smallest room on property (we confirmed by looking at the fire escape floor plans in the back our room door) so we were a little cramped this time compared to the last. Overall, good stay, would book again.
