Stayed at this hotel two nights for business travel to save $$$ as required by my cheapskates employer. Felt very uncomfortable with the surrounding area immediately upon arrival at the hotel, as homeless people roam the streets in groups from dawn to dusk. Walked briskly numerous times during day/night to/from business appointments in downtown/nearby areas and the 'Skid Row' scene never changed. Hotel staff's overall attitude was fair, but not overly helpful. At times front desk was understaffed, resulting in waiting times in excess of 5-10 minutes even at peak dinner/breakfast hours. Got a bed bug bite upon first night of stay and couldn't shake it off now it's more than one week later. Hotel walls/doors had very poor sound proofing as I can hear ice machine noises and hotel guests' conversations in hallway well past midnight on both nights of stay.
Avoid this hotel if you can, as its prime has clearly past due, and especially if you value your personal safety given the area surrounding it!
