They charged me 50$ plus tax for 1hr early check in ! Nobody came to clean the room or ask if I need anything for 3 days ! The last night of my stay , around 3:00 in the morning Ive heard something very heavy like a car or something is banging the door next to me for like 30 min , inside of the room was clean when I arrived . The area is not a good area and The hotel is used for homeless people accomodation so The situation is undrestandable . The staffs were nice , unless for charging me 50$ plus tax for no reason ! No room service .

A little tired looking from the outside but rooms have been updated and were so clean. The mini fridge is huge and the beds were very comfortable. Staff and service was fantastic. There is no breakfast included, just a brown bag with yogurt, muffin and juice box. It's in a good location and is within walking distance to downtown. Free parking was a great surprise too.
