Pros (+) - High ceilings in the room - Cleanliness - Friendly Staff - Location of the Hotel

Pros (+) Nothing. Would never recommend this hotel.
Cons (-) The hotel is surrounded by a large homeless population right outside. Parking is an additional $51 a day that was not disclosed at booking. The WiFi “package” which is a mandatory fee of $35 a night was also not disclosed. Would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Pros (+) The hotel was in a central location, close to everything and easy to get an Uber. The free high-speed internet was definitely a plus.
Cons (-) The bed was very uncomfortable and very disappointing. The hotel was situated in a sketchy party of town.

Pros (+) Cleaning staff work very hard - rooms are clean
Cons (-) One person in front desk at any time - lineup is long. Staff is abrupt and rude. Neighbourhood is scary and dangerous. No food - only Starbucks, no restaurant (it looks like it went out of business). Key cards needed recoding every day ( huge inconvenience) Do NOT stay here - too expensive and it’s a horrible experience.
