Bathroom toilet had cigarette burn stains on the lid. No shower sprayer holder. Just hangs there. Dirty shower and bathroom is in major need to maintenance. Mirror looked to have graffiti On the that someone tried to clean. Bed is bad. Sinks in the middle. Overall spear the extra 20 dollars and stay at a hotel that keeps up the rooms.

Room was very clean, and the Heat/AC works great. The staff is very nice and attentive. The neighborhood is pretty chill; however, Rosecrans St seems to be the local raceway. Lol. The location is great. Better Buzz Coffee across the street to the south, Winchell's Donuts across the street to the east, and liquor stores in both directions. Ralph's is two blocks away. You can see the upper half of the Americas Cup Harbor, very pretty at night.
