Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
There is zero consideration for the guest experience and while I think that’s completely fine for a segment of the population, to be charging a premium on top of that (over $170 a NIGHT for a room without a bathroom, stained and worn carpet, mismatched furniture, large gaps in the door that makes you wonder whether your items will still be there when you get back is certainly a bold choice. I booked two nights but didn’t stay the second night and chose a friend’s couch instead of another night wondering what else I’d be awoken up to at 3 am. If you like the movie SEVEN and the scene where there’s a shootout in the hallway, you’re pretty close to the vibe of this “hotel.”

The staff was great, but it is extremely outdated. The bed didn’t have a fitted sheet. The shower didn’t have a shower head. The carpet looks dirty. The remote for the tv didn’t work. The place itself needs a lot of TLC but it’s safe, check in was easy and It provided a roof over our heads for a couple of days.

The inn was a bit run down, but we felt safe and were pleased with the affordability. The beds were comfortable and the area was quiet.
(The beds were made when we arrived.) The carpet was pretty gross. Grafitu on the wall art. Other than these things, the room was safe, comfortable, and quiet.

The room was dirty and minimally cleaned. There were spider webs and stains on the walls, there was just a sheet and 2 pillows on a very noisy mattress, and it had an old musty stench. The bathroom was horrific and I don’t even want to use it… the person who checked me in was very nice!

If you’re looking for a no-frills place to lay your head for a night, this place will do. If you’re allergic to dust, maybe not. This place is old and could desperately use some love, but the staff are friendly, the bed was OK, the shower had good pressure, but the carpets were pretty gross. Also, if you need absolute darkness, I would bring something to cover your eyes.
