Summary of reviews

Guests say
Most guests appreciated the hotel's central location and found the staff to be helpful and friendly. However, many reviews highlighted significant concerns about noise levels, cleanliness, and safety, particularly due to the presence of many homeless people and a generally unsafe neighborhood. Several guests also mentioned that the hotel and its facilities were old and in poor condition, with issues such as broken elevators, lack of amenities, and uncomfortable rooms. While some found the rooms clean and the price reasonable, overall, negative aspects outweighed the positives for many visitors.
