What reviewers say

While some guests found the receptionists friendly and helpful, and one even expressed gratitude for the hotel providing shelter to those in need, common complaints include issues with cleanliness, rude staff, noise disturbances, and a general lack of adult supervision leading to unpleasant experiences. There are also reports of bed bugs and feeling unsafe due to other guests.

No. Just no. I walked in to the front desk. Not even three minutes into being there, some kid kept screaming, “THEY’RE COMING!” No adult supervision for this kid. The line was so long and it look me around 10-12 minute to reach the front desk. When I got there, It was a random old man who looked like he experienced the Titanic. I asked him, “Just a room for one please.” You know what he said? “Sorry, we only have rooms for 50 people or up.” WHAT? 💀 Anyway, I got a room for 50. (It was $900 dollars by the way even though I’m one person). Despite being for 50 people and up, the room was TINY. I could barely fit my suitcase. After that, I immediately check out. Worst hotel experience ever.

It sucked. Bed bugs in my bed, front desk guy RUDE. and the room wasn't clean when I come in. Outside was so loud. I couldn't sleep until 2 in the morning.
