i loved the room itself but having no actual staff on site and finding parking made it very inconvenient, the area the hotel is in does not feel safe. it would be nice to have an available wet bar option in room i had to walk the neighborhood late at night after the concert i went to and i felt it was very unsafe .

DON'T STAY HERE!!!

I don't normally review but feel I need to warn people not to stay here. My daughter and I were on the 3rd floor facing Colfax. We did not feel safe due to all the homeless out front and night time activity. The pictures on the website are not accurate. It is a rundown nightmare. Outside is totally covered in ivy and the windows as well making it dark in the rooms. The carpet is dirty and ripped. Upon arrival in our room, the first thing I noticed was the dirty bathroom. It had dark long hair all over the floor, a used toothbrush and razor in the shower. The carpet had not been vacuumed, the table was broken and two of the lights did not have lightbulbs. The coffee maker had old coffee in it with mold growing and the dishes in the cupboard were not clean. I have never been in such a dirty dark place. Way over priced. I would pay another 100 a night to stay downtown.

Arrived and could not enter due to need for a security code to open door, which they never sent. They sent one later on day of check-in I think, but that was too late. Had to reserve at the Sheridan for $$$. That sucks.

this place does not refund you even if they say they will! the moment i got there, there were homeless people all around the hotel. the air conditioning did not work. when i walked into my room, the bathroom window to outside was WIDE open, as if a homeless person had come inside! it’s also dirty inside. DO NOT stay here, just trust me on this.

Inside was cute, but the inability to come and go due to the homelessness and drugged out people caused us to cancel our second night. Cops had to be called just so could get into property. Was told to park vehicle blocks away because unsafe and no parking.

Dumpy spot

Checked in late after delayed flight and neither of the two door codes provided worked. We were standing at the front door and were accosted my a local drunk person. No person working onsite, luckily they answered the phone but weren’t really helpful… offered to cancel our reservation instead of fixing their mistake. Wanted to love the place with the old school charm, but room wasn’t really functional. No side tables, few outlets, tiny bathroom.
