Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guest reviews highlight the hotel's central location and affordable rates, making it a practical choice for budget travelers. However, many guests express serious concerns about cleanliness, with frequent mentions of dirty rooms, bathrooms, and common areas. Safety is a recurring issue, as the surrounding neighborhood is described as unsafe, with many homeless individuals nearby and reports of feeling insecure, especially at night. Service receives mixed feedback, with some guests finding staff friendly and helpful, while others report rude or unhelpful interactions. Overall, while the hotel provides good value and a convenient location, significant improvements in cleanliness, safety, and service are needed.
