Room was definitely neglected. It was clear the room was dirty, there were splatter stains all over the walls (every wall), carpet stained, shower leaking with a huge puddle on the floor. My friends in the room over found dirty underwear on the floor. The sheets don't even cover the mattress (exposed) all the way and there were stains on the bottom mattress box that clearly had bedbugs at one point from all the stains of blood etc. It felt gross to just be standing in the room honestly

The staff is nice. It doesn’t feel safe at night especially on the weekends. People bumping their loud music from their cars and smoking weed. Not a family type of hotel. You get what you pay for.

Room was good. Area was noisy since it’s close to street. Check-in guy took a long time to check us in. Not friendly. Sounded like he was talking to someone via wireless earbuds (checked in from outside via a small window) and we were interrupting him. Lady next day was friendlier.
The whole staff were awesome, from the front desk (morning and overnight) to the housekeepers, very accommodating. The room was clean, the area was quiet
