Basic hotel, but was a bit dirty, my room was missing a smoke detector and the latch/lock was broken. These issues were eventually fixed, but should not have existed. Obviously a mom and pop kind of place, and the proprietors were friendly, but still quite lacking.

This was the perfect location if you are attending the concert across the street at The Van Buren! Had a balcony overlooking the venue and next to the venue I was able to order pizza and fries from Ziggys! It had a microwave, fridge and blow drier! Would stay again.

There were no amenities, the receptionist was rude, and the room was not in the best condition, even though the hotel is under renovation. We woke up multiple times during the night due to loud verbal fights and screaming inside the hotel. While it is very inexpensive, it is not worth it. I was trying to save money, but as a woman, I felt extremely unsafe staying here.

Parking was easy. No amenities. Shower towels are small and poor quality. The heater in our room was not working and I was cold when I went to bed. The people running the place were nice enough. There was a homeless dude that was strung out on drugs hanging out in the parking lot.
