Pros:

It's away from all the knuckleheads and the tenderloin district of this hotel.
And people are more familiar

Cons:

I'm really getting used to the staff cause I've been renting from them most of the time. This is my go to for somewhere. That's good and cheap and wanna go ahead and be
Having peace of mind even though I'm in the wheelchair, I still could get by inside this hotel to make it feel comfortable for me.

Cons:

Pillow and blanket weren’t clean at all. It had stains and the hotel couldn’t replace it. No replacement for new room as well.

A nightmare
Cons:

This hotel has bedbugs bad. I have bites everywhere! The staff does not care and there is no one to get ahold of so don’t waste your time. Oh and they charge your credit card at weird time for unexplained charges and don’t ever give you a reason why. Annnnd I didn’t have power for 24 hours. It’s filthy disgusting and the staff are the rudest people on earth

You get what you pay for!
Pros:

Great location, very central. Very cheap compared to other options.

Cons:

Shared bathrooms were dirty, one of the locks was broken. No soap in the bathrooms. No fan/air con which made it hard to sleep (there was a heatwave when I visited). Strong musky smell. Furniture was very worn. Some bugs on the wall.

A waste of my hard earned money
Cons:

There’s no power in my room and the person at the desk treated me like I was inconvenience to even mention this to them. I also got charged a mysterious $30 on my card at 3am for god knows why and was also brushed off when I asked the desk about this. The power has been out in my room for 20 hours and still no solution. They all but cussed me out actually. Anyone in their right mind would not wanna pay for a hotel room with no power. Sleeping in the alley would be a better option

Front desk is NOT 24 hours. Unannounced 1 hour breaks.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

The front desk is non-functional during 1 hr long staff breaks which are unposted/unannounced. So, if you happen to arrive during a front desk meal break, you cannot check-in.
The same problem applies if you are standing in the lobby wearing only a wet towel because your key does not work (weak magnitizer).
The front desk MUST be staffed with a functional alternate (who can check-in, check-out, fix keys, access the luggage room, etc) during front desk breaks.
Having a cleaning person standing around who can do nothing but lie saying the front desk staff is in the basement fixing the.TV service does not solve the inexcusable problem.

Value stay in a fun area.
Pros:

Lovely hotel in the heart of all the local action. Very clean and comfortable. Clean toilet and shower down the hall. Microwave, TV, refrigerator and closet in room. My bicycle fit in the room easily. 3 minute walk to Keys Jazz Bistro if you like Live Jazz Dinners like me.

It is cheaper. The room is decent. The restroom and shower facilities do not use at all . Bring some cleaning supplies i
Pros:

It is in Chinatown area. The room rate was cheapest. Free WiFi.

Cons:

I stay in the 1st floor room. Single twin size bed.

The room was not a decent shape. Bed was ok. Floor area was little dirty. Lighting was decent.

The tv only does Roku. No cable channels.

The sink on the drainage area was leaking, it had to use a bucket to collect the water.

The window blinds were in bad condition, missing or broken panels.

There is no air conditioning. Just using the window.

The shared bathroom facilities is awful. One toilet area does not flush properly, no sink or even piracy area. The other toilet was okay. It needs clear signage for people who have to use. I personally avoid using the hotel bathroom. Go to mall, stores or else to use the restroom instead.

The shower area I do not like at all. I know it is shared bathroom facilities in the listing. It is lack of manners who stay at this hotel. No one cleans themselves when people uses. It was dirty, some people just leave their towels and other stuff behind in the room. I would not shower at this hotel if the management enforced the patrons to clean up themselves.
