The elevator sounded like it would break down at any minute, the hallways smelled like marijuana. We were even on no smoking floor. It was so noisy outside with emergency vehicles, motorcycles, drunk people it made it hard to sleep. There were cigarette holes in the bedding. Bad neighborhood. Felt very unsafe, almost didn't stay. My son said the breakfast was good- cereal and waffles.

Although it was clean it still needed alot of TLC. Rooms smelled, stains on floors and furniture. Bedding had holes in it. The bare minimum has been done to the rooms, repairs to walls etc need done. Our "suite" had the smallest frig ive ever seen, a gallon of milk and a couple bottles pop filled it. Breakfast was bare minimum also, waffle machine that timer was broke. Toast, cereal, yogurt, apples. Only 1 elevator worked. Staff was friendly but definately needs some updating

They have no sense of security and when there are homeless people sleeping under the benches and drug addicts hanging around the building it makes it a little uncomfortable to come and go. We found a crack pipe under the couch the first night of our stay. The last night of our stay the bathroom light was out so we had to shower in the dark. They only had one elevator working, and its been that way for years. We did not get house keeping until 3 days in. The place is WAY too expensive for what you are getting or do I say not getting.
