Not good!
Pros:

The staff was friendly

Cons:

I did not like having people in the halls shooting up, hearing the people outside at all hours, walking to the parking lot being asked if we wanted to buy drugs or looking for a good time, the smell of the room was horrific (moldy smelling), the key cards had to be repeatedly replaced because they wouldn’t work, and we could not walk anywhere around the vicinity without fearing for our lives.

Correcte però amb problemes per recuperar el dipòsit.
Pros:

Bona situació. Hotel correcte

Cons:

L'hotel no ha retornat el dipòsit després de més de 20 dies de l'estada. Fins i tot no sabien quan es retornaria quan hi vaig contactar una setmana després.
Molt mala praxis.

A great value during a convention week, but this is one rough block.
Pros:

The room is surprisingly comfortable, and quiet, and it was clean. But this is one of the more squalid blocks in the city. This is not the original Cathedral Hill Hotel.One nice thing is there are so many convenient stores. But you will be stepping over an entire block of fentanyl zombies to get into the hotel.. Also, there are zero amenities.

Cons:

Things were a little tattered.

Cons:

No shampoo, no mattress. The bed was a box spring with a mattress pad, very uncomfortable.
