Upon driving up to your hotel, we saw a homeless encampment next to the hotel. I felt unsafe at this hotel. When we went to bed to sleep, our sheets were wet at the bottom so we had to get another set of sheets to cover the wet. The shower was awful! There was a leak in the shower head pouring water out of the shower onto the floor. Im not impressed with this hotel at this location. I did not enjoy my stay unfortunately 😔

Good hotel for the price point. Was clean and comfortable. Some folks might not be comfortable with the character of the neighbourhood - many homeless people unfortunately. But I was outside walking several times and did not have any problems. I would happily stay here again.

The staff was so friendly, unfortunately the area is incredibly unsafe and the nights were filled with noises. Car was not safe despite gate- drug users go into the garage whenever cars open the gate.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The only negative comment I have is that I asked for a late checkout, and there seem to be some confusion between the person that checked me in and the staff that was on the day of my departure and they called my room two times Asking when I was checking out so that was just a little annoying
