Very loud trains going by day and night 24/7 right next to the hotel. When you walk in your room they have ear plugs on the counter. Room was clean beds were ok. We did not try the breakfast did not realize it was off site and it stopped at 10am. The shower water was hot but had NO water pressure when you had the hot water on only cold had pressure.

The staff was excellent, and the facilities and room were clean and included a fridge/microwave/coffee machine. The lotion provided felt like it dried me out rather than moisturized if that's something you care about.

The people at the hotel were very nice however the hotel room itself was decently gross, floors not swept, mirrors were smudged, bathroom door was covered in warped and peeling paint, bathroom counters were not wiped down. It was dirty enough upon first arrival that I did a very extensive bedbug check. Breakfast was good but a couple blocks away at a different building. Internet didn’t work at all. I am frustrated that we were told we needed a $5 parking pass but were not told that it was $5 PER DAY as well as a $3 a day service charge. They were not big charges but still annoying to find out about AFTER your visit. If you are a light sleeper I would not recommend this hotel. The walls are PAPER thin I could hear everything our neighbors were doing. Also felt a little unsafe with all the homeless people camping in the surrounding area but that isn’t the hotels fault.

The hotel was very bare-bones - an upgrade to the linens and pillows would make it feel much more valuable for the price. Lots of extra fees - parking fee, pet fee, multiple charges for service fees, room fees, extra taxes. I'd rather pay more for the room base price without all the surprise fees upon checkout. No housekeeping/do-not-disturb options. All of the rooms are outdoor/accessible from the street/parking lot. We stayed on the first floow and had people congregating outside well after quiet hours. Jade at the front desk was very knowledgeable and capable and the coffee lounge was relaxing and quality.

Quirky and fun!

We love staying in funky little hotels, and this one fit the bill! The renovated bathroom was spacious, there was an elevator, and the staff was friendly. Loved the cartoons they showed on a wall at night, plus all the murals painted around. Knowing that trains rumble past, they thoughtfully supplied earplugs. Breakfast was at a restaurant a couple of blocks away, but that got us moving in the morning. I'd stay here again.
