On the plus side, there was great water pressure and plenty of hot water. When things broke or there were other issues (and there were quite a few), the maintenance guy came right away. Kudos to him. Minuses: Too many things to list, but here are just a few: 1. The elevator did not work, so we had to hike all our stuff up to the third floor on the stairs. 2. The appliances are badly in need of updates: the lamp switches either were very tricky or did not work at all, so we had to unplug them to turn them off. The shower handle was difficult to turn (we are talking two hands and a towel when hands are wet). The fridge was so exuberant it wouldn't turn off and all our stuff froze (the hard-boiled eggs actually burst). Their solution: "Just turn it off when it gets too cold [and let everything melt and get all soggy and spoil]." 3. The shower drain was clogged with other people's hair which made it difficult to drain until I (yecchhh) pulled it out with my bare hand. In short, everything that is possible to be run-down is run-down. I stayed at this hotel 20 years ago when it was the Picadilly Inn University, and it was much nicer then; disappointed to see it having become rather a dump. Will not be staying there again.

Not so comfy.
It was surrounded by hoodlums and crackheads. I checked in and checked out within the hour because it felt unsafe. Staff was great though!

I think that the price was a really good price for the night. Appreciate the people who are helping and the signs to make sure that people need to lock the doors.
