No Hot waters.....
So my only issues would be that the gas line was damage and they didnt let there customer know nor did they accommodate for the hot water being out. I end up paying for another night and didnt get no discounts or anything for the hot water.

Deceitful Photos!
What a deceit of an advertisement. Whoever took the photos knew what they were doing. Picked time of day and perfect angles to avoid showing the reality of this place.
Sketchy neighborhood. Sketchy building. Seemed some folks probably lived there?? Sketchy folks outside as well. This is NOT somewhere you want to being the kids to. The room was rundown and not very clean. Cheap patchwork on the walls. Sticky remotes. What a horrible experience. We stayed one night because our drive got us there late, but immediately request cancellation and refund of our 2nd night. Found something elsewhere.

You know that one scene from the movie Big with Tom Hanks when he goes to new york for the first time and its time for him to sleep , and curls up afraid. Well its kinda like that . Pillows had lipstick on them , the walls had patched up holes, there was a jacuzzi but it was caution taped off , there was a very different kind of unsafe crowd outside everynight. The air conditioning was great though. Overall i would not recommend this place .

It was ok for a quick overnight stay. did have clean sheets. No blankets just a sheet and quilt cover.
Lots of people foot traffic all night..
The room was adequate, no coffee maker and not one single cup/glass provided.
Breakfast was handed out in paper bags containing
Oatmeal in cup, muffin factory sealed, yogurt and breakfast bar.

No service of any kind was provided without asking. I stayed for five days and received no clean towels or sheets. The majority of the occupants were homeless people and the property was full of litter and dog poop.
Won’t be going back
