Run, don’t walk away!! Homeless situation beside and all around. Parking does not have a gate, so they roam around there. Front steps of building chipped, rooms out dated and carpets need a deep clean or refresh. However, coffee in the morning was the best I have had for a long time. Security in lobby, didn’t look like they could handle the drug addicts shooting up outside the door and in parking. Sad situation for hotel and visitors Was always worried for my safety when entering or exiting. Couldn’t find another hotel to go to on this weekend.

Pros: The service at this property was friendly and good. The room was clean. The price was decent. Cons: The hotel decor is tired and dated. The downfall of this place was location. There were sadly a lot of homeless people surrounding the area that creates an unease. When we looked out the window of our room, you could see homeless people sleeping in the parking lot. When we left in the morning, there were three homeless people huddled in a corner doing drugs. Beside the hotel, at the London Extended Stay, there were at least 20 homeless people gathered. No one bothered us though.

The cons: The hotel amenities were not at all what was advertised on Expedia. The staff don’t answer the phone when called from the room. And they refused to provide any service or deliver a luggage cart to the room claiming staff shortage when I saw more than one employee in the lobby. The hotel apparently charges a $75 security deposit which is not mentioned anywhere when booking. This is something I expect from a motel that charges $40 a night but not from a hotel that charges almost $200 per night. That’s ridiculous. One of the phones in the room did not work. The hotel is clean and the room was nice and well equipped. That’s why they’re getting 2 stars. Otherwise, this hotel is not worth the price.

The room was dated and dirty. Cigarette burn in carpet and on night stand - wall paper falling off the wall. Area around the hotel has lots of homeless people. Dog barking woke me up at 3am. Underground parking smelled like pot smoke. Wish I would have read reviews before is booked. Will never stay there again.
