DO NOT STAY HERE. The hotel is closing down and has not been maintained at all. Our sheets were used, there was literal mold growing in several places in the bathroom, including Serratia marcescens (pink mold) in the shower. The staff are fully aware of these issues. When we brought this to their attention they said “I know”. Further more, this hotel is being used to shelter unhoused folks and it’s obvious by the smell that housekeeping has not been adequately cleaning. Again. Do not stay here.

The property is falling apart. No AC or hot water. Homeless people everywhere in the neighborhood. Only reason not giving a terrible review is I was offered cancellation/ given a refund at the time of check in. I never saw the inside of the rooms but the rest of the place did not feel clean or safe.

Nothing was working. No AC...the card keys had to be reset twice a day...I cut my stay short and moved to another place. I may come back when they refurbishe the place because it's a great location. Right now, it's just falling apart. Tragic.
