The cleaner (?) smoking outside thought it was appropriate to start ranting about Black Lives Matter protests... to my black boyfriend. She said 'black lives matterz what does that even mean? I say white lives matter and people get angry at me'
We then had to phone the owner on a weird phone outside. Him and his wife were shouting numbers at me, with no explanation. VERY aggressively. We managed to work out what he meant with the help of the cleaner. One number was the code for the door, one was our room number.
The check-in was disgraceful and we felt too unsafe to complain in-person.
The room smelt like cigarettes, and the whole place looked like a squat.
I'd give it 0 stars if I could. Good location though.

It will get the job done but I recommend almost anywhere else. Most of the other reviews are true. Checking in was simple because the person just found my name on a sheet. My room includes a cot, toilet, and shower. It didn’t appear as if the room or linen was cleaned beforehand. Ultimately, bring things you are comfortable with cleaning and laying on if that is of interest to you. It is not nearly worth the price it is listed either. Bonuses: It’s located in a great area, the individual who checked me in and out was kind, and there was a standing fan.

Stayed here because it was the only "affordable" option left downtown but the quality of the rooms should make this place cost way less. Our experience wasn't as horrible as others but I definitely felt like I was scraping the bottom of the barrel when I got there. I was redirected to a different location (2 blocks down), the room was not what I booked but it got the job done. It was cleaner than I expected but you could tell they don't take care of the place aside from cleaning it for the next person. For example the towel rack in the bathroom had two ends without the plastic rod that holds the towel. They totally could have gone to like home depot and gotten a replacement rod but nope, it's just a useless space on the wall and there was nowhere to hang a towel. So VERY LITTLE EFFORT goes into these rooms, they're just trying to make money and do the bare minimum. Also there were a lot of tiny black bugs on the floor, I eventually just stopped looking down because I was so uncomfortable by them. And the mattresses were like soft rocks, not comfortable at all.

Arrived at the location we booked at and, similar to other reviews, were directed to a different location which is not only odd but felt incredibly sketchy. When we arrived, we spent about 20 minutes discussing with the woman at the front booth about our booking and she had to call multiple people for some reason, even though we had booked online and it should have been pretty straightforward. It seemed like they just had a piece of paper with names and room numbers written down that hung on a door. Once we got to the room, there were quite a few issues that didn't seem reasonable for the price we payed. Like there was no toilet paper holder, there was writings on the walls from previous tenants in sharpie, I don't think the windows are up to fire safety codes because even as a pretty slim woman, I don't think I'd be able to get out of the window if there were a fire. The bed was like a futon mattress, which was expected. There was a large list of rules posted at the door that listed there was no smoking, but clearly that is not enforced because our room reeked of cigarettes. I would recommend bringing headphones to sleep with as the rooms aren't very soundproof.
If you do plan on showering, make sure to not leave anything of the bathroom floor because it will get soaked since the shower curtain doesn't seem to actually keep the water in the shower. Just a heads up!
I will say, it did seem quite clean, cleaner than some lower end hotels I've been to which is probably the only saving grace.

We got to the location. We were supposed to have a double bedroom with two separate beds. We got here and they were trying to scam us into cancelling our hotel reservation online and paying them cash $200 more. I asked to see the room and it’s full of roaches and the room hasn’t been cleaned from previous renters. We live out of town and have nowhere else lined up to go. Thankfully hotels.com is relocating us at no extra charge
