Enjoyed our stay here!!

The location was great close to everything. Fernando was nice and easy to communicate with. We felt safe the room is your typical small studio space. The staff was welcoming and always on site. Vending machines downstairs and restaurants near. No issues with getting our deposit back. Would definitely stay here again.

Great location, not that comfortable

The location of this property is truly impressive, and the money you pay for it is quite reasonable. If this is what you are looking for, this is a great deal. But you should not consider this option if you are looking for a comfortable space, 24/7 front desk, and other things you might expect from a hotel. In general, I had the impression this used to be an apartment building currently in the process of becoming a hotel or aparthotel, because around the hallways you could see guests like us (two families with 6 people in total sharing a "large" room with a kitchenette), and elderly residents. In any case, I´d recommend the place if you are looking for a great location, and you are not too keen about comfort/cleanliness.

The website says “parking available” and under “more details” it lists “valet parking at $44.77”. Upon arrival, I was told that parking was about a block away and the cost was $88/nt!! The bed had either a bedbugs or ticks. My husband has several bites on his arms and head. I found a dead bug that looks like a tick (I took a picture of it). I wasn’t informed that they required the deposit in the form of cash. And, I wasn’t informed until the night before checkout that I would be responsible for cleaning the room. I left it more clean that it was when I arrived (we found hair in the shower, dirty silverware in the drawer and dirt, etc. on the floor). On a positive note, the front desk clerk was friendly and helpful.

The location is perfect!! The room was hot in the summer and the ac is literally next to ur body on the bottom bunk so the top bunks hardly get any air so I would warn the people on top bunks lol. For whatever reason the towels smelled like mildew and the tv is on the top side so the people on bottom bunks can’t see. Over all it was okay and if I had to I would stay again .
