The room was very clean and in good repair. The outlets were a little loose but still worked. We did not use the heat or air as the room was just the right temperature for us. The main complaint would be that even though we were in a non-smoking room, it smelled of smoke. We attempted to air it out, but the smell came back after closing the patio door. (the smell might have been coming from the chair that showed signs of having been in a smoking room at some time)

The whole hotel smelled like weed the entire stay. The elevator seemed to only work going up. Our room had a balcony, the door to said balcony didnt latch. Only the bent security bar kept it closed. Staff were nice. Room initially smelled clean. Room was clean aside from 2 cans of modelos in the trash can.

One bath towel in bathroom. Horrible smell in elevator. Pretty sure hotel is also part of a homeless shelter place that helps house people. Security in the lobby so that’s scary. No way to charge anything unless you have a block to connect with. Did not feel safe outside of my room.
