Summary of reviews

Guests say
Most guests had negative experiences, citing that the property was no longer operating as a hotel and was instead being used as a shelter, leading to confusion, frustration, and feelings of being scammed. Several reviews also mentioned issues with the building being old, run-down, and having a bad atmosphere, with some concerns about safety and cleanliness. However, a few guests appreciated the comfortable beds, clean rooms, and convenient location, especially for budget travelers who did not mind the building's age or appearance.

Cons (-) Very dirty environment. I won't even recommend my worst enemy to stay there, it was stinky from the lobi down to the room and very unsafe for my family so i decided to go search for a better place to spend the night with my family. It was a waste of my money because i didn't spend the night there

Pros (+) The front desk lady was nice.
Cons (-) Room dirt with hairs in bed. They change my room immediately but the next room had hair also. The location it's kinda ghetto and the people who where staying looks like drug abusers. Really smelly bad place. I feel sorry for the staff but it's the truth.
