You can do better
Very loud at night, poorly insulated to the exterior - new windows would go a long way to improving the property. Staff barely registered us (pretty sure they were high?), elevator worked only intermittently, and there's no AC. The carpet was quite old and felt kind of gross.
Location was pretty decent, and accessing the property was straight forward.

There were bedbugs at the hotel. Lots of homeless people outside the property bed did not have a fitted sheet on it. There were no blankets just one sheet. I would never recommend a family coming to this hotel.

The hotel is small and old. It is fine enough when you are just essentially sleeping there, but overall not the nicest hotel. There are not amenities, no breakfast of any kind.

Not terrible
The hotel is overall a good option if you’re not looking for an extended stay, as the room lacked air conditioning.

Hansel at the front desk was very helpful with directions and places to eat. The Holtel is old but the price and area was nice.

Clean bed. Windows thin. You can hear everything in the street that is going on.
