Horrible, don’t recommend.
Pros:

There was a bed and a shower

Cons:

The entire room was disgusting, very limited lighting, no shampoo, dirty towels and bed linens. There were pubes everywhere all over the bed and towels, floors weren’t cleaned and there were roaches everywhere. There was also screaming all throughout the night, and homeless people and drug dealers all around the area. I don’t recommend staying here. Wife and I left early because it was disgusting and dangerous around the area.

Didn’t stay there, the room was gross and had roaches.
Pros:

Absolutely nothing. Unsafe.

Cons:

Roaches in the room
Super dirty, outdated. Sketchy area.
I called hours ahead ensuring I’d get a second floor suite and was told upon arrival they had no availability despite me paying for a suite. They didn’t want to return my money but thankfully had the insurance to help out.
The room had roaches and genuinely unhygienic conditions.

Pros:

The location was the only thing I liked.

Cons:

Bathroom door had a hole in it and had to slam it to where the neighbors heard it each time door had to be shut. People running around everywhere outside just be careful. Tub was not clean.
