Uninspired property
The property is a bit worn. The window did not lock. The elevator buttons had to be pushed twice—once for floor, and again to open when it stopped—maintenance or repairs needed on the button panels/wiring. Location is OK, there are a slew of mediocre bars 1/2 block away.

A place where when you have nothing allows for cheap and affordable place to stay even at your lowest, for that I'm most appreciated of this Hotel and it's staff. Though lacking in some areas if you have no where else to go this is a warm and safe if in doors to be for an relatively cheap and fair price

Nightmare
Unfortunately experience as the room smell like cigarettes and so the lobby, outsite in the parking lot is a strong smell to marijuana, a lot of homeless people around the building. Not a pleasant night for children as we have to stay awake all night on fear for all the commotion of the firearm shots that happened that night and all the presence of police. Horrible experience, never again.
