Would stay again. It’s downtown so you get a minor drug issue, but basically lasts 2 blocks and then you’re in the beautiful downtown.

Location is good, but too many homeless people around here. The staffs aren’t friendly. The front desk doesn't give room key. The room can not be locked when you go out.Never had such experience! There’s a fire exit in the room. Is it legal?
