I think dirty, old, run down, and unsafe speak for itself. Drug addicts all over the grounds outside. Empty liquor bottles and trash in the elevator. Filthy restaurant. No locks on any of the outside entrances. Loud music all night and sirens going off all night long. Worst hotel experience I’ve ever had. It was terrifying! Enough said

This property is used by the City to house homeless and displaced immigrants. Not a safe feeling environment. Our room had a shower tile missing and the chair in the main room was really dirty. The hall ways were dingy. Just not a good vibe for a name brand hotel. U

The staff were great and the breakfasts hot and good. The beds were great! The hotel itself is older and needs work. I was moved once due to a water leak and the new room was challenged on heat. I ultimately cut my trip one day short to leave.

Do not stay here

This was by far the worst hotel I’ve stayed in. My room had pet urine drenched in the floor and they changed me to 2 other rooms after I complained. They were all dirty. The staff told me they would discount my room for the problems and never did. There were people in the parking lot asking me if I had drugs. Unbelievable

We walked into the homeless shelter part of the hotel with zero indication of what we were walking into. Slum is the best description. Something a majority of people would be horrified to find in the hotel they are staying at. Then homeless people were everywhere in the main hotel. One was sitting in a wheelchair blasting extremely loud music on a Bluetooth speaker by the window when we got off the elevator on our floor. Housekeeping stood outside our door talking loudly about everything under the sun for 45 minutes before checkout. We assumed it was homeless people still walking around on our floor until we opened the door to realize it was staff...... EXTREMELY unprofessional.... We will NEVER be back. Our room was decent enough but the chair I wouldn't set anything I owner on. It looked like it was brought over from the homeless shelter side. The shower was gross by the drain and I for sure felt like I was unsafe in the hotel. Extremely bad experience.

The building smelled there was stuff left in the room from previous guest… the elevator broke.. no temperature control in the room. Almost every time I went to the front desk it wasn’t manned and no one answered the phone.
