Very helpful and accommodating staff! Easy process in checking in and out. Beautiful and clean rooms. But, the area outside is not ideal. Abandoned buildings, homeless people with mental illnesses… etc

DO NOT MAKE THE MISTAKE I MADE AND GO HERE TO DAVE MONEY!!! YOU SOEND MONEY AND TRANSPORTATION AND I HAD TO PAY FOR A NEW HOTEL ANYWAY!! I got there and waiting 15 mins for someone to be at the desk, I was rushed through paperwork and forms by a very unpleasant woman at the front desk. I see random people in the lobby, most of which were not staying at this hotel. I get to my room and there's bugs in the bathroom. You can hear everything outside. It's not ideal. I thought I'd look past all that because it was affordable and a roof over my head. Until night came around and a woman was out front screaming full force for hours about how not okay she is and if you liked further down the parking lot, 50+ people just loitering, definitely not hotel patrons. Between the near constant horns and sirens into the night and the screaming and noise outaide, it is not worth the cheap price. Not to mention you have to walk a ways to any bus stations in very sketchy neighborhoods so it's safer to just take an Uber. And an Uber every day at least twice a day, you might as well just pay for a better hotel away from this property.. stay as far away as you can. It's in the Trinidad neighborhood and police didn't even care about all the chaos happening at night. They drive by through lights to avoid it. They patrolled the area. But not to do anything about the incredibly concerning behavior. I left after my first night and hat to pay for another hotel. Because I felt so uneasy in this area.
