The place was filthy and smelled horrendous. No toilet. Only one set of towels for two people. All the homeless and druggies. Didn’t feel safe

Warning! The pictures posted online aren't an accurate representation of the property. It is obviously old, and not very well maintained. After checking into my room, I almost left, even having done a non refundable booking online. Looking out the window of the corner room, there was a disgusting dumpster and a homeless man doing an inventory of his shopping cart. The inside door safety lock was broken. Made it through the night, but was nervous about being there the entire time. Got up early, grabbed my luggage and left.

This hotel is very dated and needs a refurbish. Breakfast leaves a lot to be desired, no meat provided only eggs, waffles, yogurt, toast, and cereal.
