The staff were great, and the amenities were fine for the price (pool, hotel breakfast, etc). I have zero complaints about those aspects.
The hotel is in need of a renovation and everything is very dated (if I had to guess the carpet and everything is from the 80’s maybe early 90’s). Additionally, the area around it is a little dodgy. There are homeless that stay at a lot across the street, a strip club nearby, a transitional housing type apartment complex, an homeless charity type thing to the south, etc. I have nothing against the homeless population, but that is all in the vicinity of the hotel and might influence how comfortable you feel. I personally didn’t want to do any of my exercise at night knowing this. That said, the police station is right across the street, a nice pizzeria just a block away, as well as luxury apartments right off the street so it’s hard to say anything definitive about the area being dumpy or not.
I can say I didn’t have any major issues, the property doesn’t tolerate any criminal elements in the hotel itself and the guests all seemed like normal people. It’s a decent place to stay if you are on a budget, but if you want something nicer and are willing to pay more, you should look for something closer to downtown.
