When we first arrived at the hotel we did not feel very safe. The street we drove down was very run down and there were big african american people yelling at each other.
The lobby of the hotel was ok, but the couches were extreamly dirty and did not look like they had had a clean in centuries.
The staff were quite nice and helpful, but this was the only reasonable aspect to this place.
As we were heading to our room we noticed one elevator was out of service due to inspection, and the one that did work did not feel very safe, it made major creaking and banging noises.
The hall and stair wells smelt like urine.
The room was pretty average. There was no Air Conditioning, we could not close the curtains - so we had to use a safty pin to keep them closed at night. The windows could easily have been opened from the outside, which made us very uncomfortable leaving anything inside.
Right across the street from our room was a Adult Porn Movie theatre.
We took a walk down the street hoping it would get better, but it didn't. There were homeless sleeping everywhere, including right outside the hotel entrance - we never felt safe. The streets were covered with puddles (of god knows what) and smelt like stale urine. There were african american gangster looking people on every corner and crazy people littering the streets.
We were told by our taxi driver to be very careful - so we decided not to go out after dark.
Also, on our last night of staying here we arrived back to the hotel after being at Alcatraz, we were walking towards the elevator and I saw a big cockroach scuttling across the floor (how disgusting is that). This made me wonder about the higiene of this place. How clean were the rooms????
The location of this hotel was a very unsafe and dirty area. Made both me and my partner feel very uncomfortable.
Would not recommend this place to anyone. TERRIBLE ATMOSPHERE and HOTEL.
