"This is one of the worst hotels I've ever stayed in, hands down. Don't believe the gleaming reviews as they are likely left by people working for the hotel. Lets start with the fact that the hotel is in the hood and its not safe. Drunk and high people amble around the hallways and the elevator is not key-accessed, so they can come right up to your floor. The building is also not locked during the day so anyone can waltz right in. My first impression upon arrival and check-in was being accosted by a drunken homeless man who could barely stand, asking for cigarettes and/or money. When you get in your room, you'll likely be missing necessary items and things will be broken. In my case, I had no shower curtain and my TV remote didnt work. The hotel did NOTHING to fix this despite several requests, so I had to shower without a curtain and spill water everywhere. My TV was also stuck on the QVC channel for the entire trip, so it was useless. In terms of amenities, this hotel is ancient. There is no air conditioning. Theres an old-school iron space heater you have no control over. Be ready to open your window (and jump out) to cool down and hear the sounds of the homeless screaming and ambulences roaring down the street all night long. The linens are rough, stained, and old. The bed is hard as a rock. Everything creaks under your feet. The walls are paper-thin so expect to hear every conversation, scream, vomit sound, and sex sound. TLDR; This place should be condemned."
