Worth the price and amazing location for a short stop.
Pros:

It’s a worn hotel but well taken care of. Clean room, a couple of stains on the blanket, but nothing to worry about.
Basic breakfast, nothing too crazy, but well balanced.

Cons:

Stains on the blanket

A homeless man broke into my room and attempted to break into the room next door. He was arrested and the property didn’
Pros:

The pool having zero rules and being open 24/7 was cool.

Cons:

I was burglarized by someone walking the street and the hotel didn’t give me an incident report, I still haven’t gotten my refund, and the hotel manager Zach didn’t accept responsibility or show any concern for what happened during my stay. The front desk worker wasn’t at his station or watching cameras so my security was completely jeopardized

Terrible stay. The worst ever !
Pros:

This hotel is beautiful from outside and the reception area and 1st floor layout is also beautiful. I usually like everything and do not write negative reviews, but this time was so bad that I would like to share with the future guests. Also - when we were checking out, I did ask to talk to the manager to address the concerns - they told me that the manager 'is not' there right now, and will call me in the afternoon. But no-one called, so I am sharing here.

Cons:

I usually like everything and do not write negative reviews, but this time was so bad that I would like to share with the future guests (to prevent them from staying at this place). When we were checking out, I did ask to talk to the manager to address the concerns - they told me that the manager 'is not' there right now, and would call me in the afternoon. But no-one called, so I am sharing here.
1.) We had both King and Queen beds in the room, and the bedding on the King bed had clearly NOT been changed after the previous guests. This was extremely disturbing and unsanitary, and it STILL feels disgusting to think about.
When we first arrived, before we had even asked any questions, we were immediately told at reception, “This is the last room, we don’t have any other rooms available.” At the time, that seemed like a strange thing to say when we were simply checking in. In retrospect, it makes us wonder whether the hotel was already aware that there was a problem with the room (#248).
2.) The smell in the room was really bad and very unpleasant. The King bed in particular had a terrible smell that appeared to have been left behind by the previous guest. Combined with the fact that the bedding had not been changed, it made the bed feel completely unclean and unacceptable to sleep in.
3.) The room was very outdated. And dirty.
