Worst hotel experience of my life.
Pros:

When I got to the hotel there were several people being let out by several police officers. These people that were being let out were in handcuffs and there was nobody at the front desk. After walking through the lobby which was mid-renovation and quite filthy, I stood at the front desk for approximately 10 minutes and nobody ever came to book me in. I decided to ask one of the officers if I should stay in the area and I was told no I probably shouldn't. Not sure if it had to do with the fact that I was the only Caucasian gentleman around, the fact that multiple people were being let out of the hotel with handcuffs, or the general fact that the hotel was scummy and terrible.

Cons:

Even though my room was non-refundable I requested a refund as I had to go somewhere else and stay at a different location for the night. This was not only due to the fact that I probably shouldn't have been in that particular area, but also because I couldn't check in because there was no one at the front desk after I waited for 10 minutes.
