We had so many issues with this hotel. The outside of the hotel has a homeless community unfortunately. The check in process was fine, getting into the room, the fire alarm kept beeping so we called the staff to change it. The next morning there were cops outside arresting someone. Later that night at 1am the fire alarm went off because someone was doing something, not even 30 minutes later we heard banging on someone’s door we thought it was someone trying to get into their room but they didn’t stop, after a minute we heard the police yell that it was their last chance to open up the door before they broke it down, they proceeded to kick the door down, the got into that room and fought the person inside, taking them in cuffs. 30 mins after that we started to hear a woman screaming, she was yelling at the police about something. At that point it was 2hours into this mess the police took them away, we felt unsafe due to it now being the 2nd time the police were involved. overall the hotel not great. The customer service is okay

If it wasn’t for the surroundings I would give a five stars. Love this place, clean, great service but too many homeless people near by, which can be very bad for the hotel. Some people just by looking at the area wouldn’t dare to stay there. I personally have stayed here many, many time and will continue to do so. Affordable hotel.

There's a lot of homeless people outside. They hang out around the hotel and the outside looks trashy. The pictures online don't show this side of the hotel.

Upset at myself for not doing more research about this facility. When we arrived, there were homeless people and trash everywhere. There were 2 shady guys walking around the property, including along the walkways next to the rooms. There was no security staff, only a megaphone between 1am and 5am telling them it's illegal to loiter on the property. The sheets were disgusting. Had hairs all over them from previous guest, I'm assuming, on every layer of bedding. There were stains in the linens and drapes. There were dead roaches on the bathroom floor when we arrived. The closet smelled like weed. Turning on the wall unit smelled like someone blew cigarette smoke into it in an effort to vent the room. Overall this was a horrible facility at which I did not feel safe or clean
