Our room was not ready when we arrived. When we got to the room, the bathroom did not have a light, the curtains were worn and torn, and the windows dirty. The room did not look like the pictures posted on the website.The room seemed clean, but it smelled like cigarette smoke. The man and the security guard at the desk were very nice. We ended up not staying there. And, even though Expedia was no help in getting our refund, the management refunded us. It seems as if the hotel was being used as transitional housing. I thought I read reviews about this hotel. One said a lot about homeless outside and three or four more said it was clean and the staff nice.

The staff was really nice, but when your rooms are dirty and your sheets stained and ripped (in multiple rooms!), not much they could do.
