The private rooms only have bunk beds. They charge an extra $5 if you don’t pay the security deposit in cash. The room was extremely hot and no AC. Considering the price I paid, it’s a rip-off.
The room was small as a jail cell, the furniture looked scary to sit on, the mattress was terrible you felt every spring! They water down the liquid soap in bathrooms and in kitchen. The room felt like a sauna! I will NEVER stay there again
They made me wait more 1 hour to check In. The guy told me he had to wait for his boss to know which room were available.
Besides, If you check out before 8am, forget your deposit. They open at 8am and nobody will be there to give you those 20 dollars back. I had a flight to take a 5 am. Nobody was a the front desk. I just dropped the keys and left.
It was nice to stay there for 3 nights I really enjoyed my stay

During the weekend it's great but the week day brought the crazy's and the homeless. They do not have parking like it states however there is parking near by; free on the weekends and late night, pay for limited spot and pay attention to signs for street sweeping. Which will have you moving your car early mornings 3 times a week. It's boring, there was no excitement, and yet I hardly got any rest.
There was bad smelling in the apartment and they took deposit and because of payment bank card , they charged me and not give back all amount because of card payment and I didn’t read that in hotels room page. Before my trip, I sent them message in hotels app but they didn’t reply . In the my room and bathroom , I saw cockroaches.

The room smell strong of vagrants. The linens which was supposed to be clean smell like vagrants. The dirty sheets stayed on the bed after people left. Fresh air cannot come into the room so it was do stuffy. And the people at the desk downstairs were not nice.
Couldn’t find parking, didn’t even check in because the parking was ridiculous. I spent 45 mins trying to find parking outside of hotel, called and was told to park outside in street even though there was no parking. DO NOT RECOMMEND HOTEL AT ALL. WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME. O NOT STAY HERE!!!!!
