Summary of reviews

Guests say
Most guests appreciated the hotel's convenient location near public transport and local attractions, and some found the price reasonable for what was offered. However, many reviews highlighted significant cleanliness issues, including reports of roaches and unpleasant odors, as well as outdated facilities. Service was often described as unhelpful or unfriendly, and noise from both inside and outside the hotel was a common complaint. While a few guests praised the staff's kindness and the value for money, the overall experience was mixed, with negatives outweighing the positives for many visitors.

Shannon, Jul 2026
I had no idea what we were walking into when we booked this hotel. Besides it’s great location there is nothing else good about this run down, flea bag hotel that appears to be a regular for prostitutes and John’s and nobody else except the unexpecting guests like ourselves. Had we had another option at 11pm when we checked in after seeing a concert at a close by venue we would have quickly turned...

I mean, I knew it wasn’t gonna be a five star stay for the price. But, wow this room is a mess. There’s so much damage to the walls, the furniture, the lamp shades. The bathroom sink and shower stall are both cracked. They take a $100 deposit for damage, and I’ve gotta wonder if they’ve actually used that to repair the room from whoever did all this damage. Also, this queen sized bed is absolutely...

Pros (+) I'm always impressed with the level of work, friendliness, and overall productivity/ability that the on-site employees have and use in order to do their best to take care of most anything, within reason lol, that a guest might request for. The location right in the middle of Jack London is wonderful with fantastic restaurants on every side and a fantastic view of the bay to take a stroll with whoe...
Cons (-) The one City assume that myself and several other previous guess that I have discussed things with would be some method to allow people that are either a - frequent guests or b-willing to pay a little extra to guarantee themselves a spot in the parking garage attached to the hotel. Several times now I have found myself after having to make an essential run off the property to come back only to be ...

Pros (+) The staff did their best with the poor facilities.
Cons (-) This is not a place for mothers and young children. Rooms were not clean until after check-in time, common bathroom looked like the homeless lived in it, ceiling tiles were missing, the door latch was on it's last legs and looked like one good kick could easily break open the door, there were no comforters in the room, the heating system was broken (they had space heaters available), the shower lo...

Pros (+) Price. Desk made effort to get us parking space.
Cons (-) Sketchy neighborhood. Limited parking. Shabby interior. Dump outside window. Freight train tracks 20 feet away; trains pass every hour blowing horns. Room walls torn up. Tiny thorny thistles all over carpet. Shower door wouldn't stay shut.
