I have stayed here several times and this is what ive come to know. I would not stay here with children. There are just too many homeless people, transients, and other shady types hanging around. Also, always ask for upstairs. The rooms are so much nicer and you dont encounter as much of the unsavory types. Having said this, i will also say that the staff has always been very nice, the check in is always quick and painless, it is nice to have a microwace and refrigerator at no extra charge to the completely reasonable price. So if you are a streetwise adult, i would say you should have no problems and dont forget to grab a belgian waffle or some cereal in the morning. If you have kids? Maybe try the studio 6 or HoJos.

No worth the trouble!!

This hotel is very noisy, the bathtub was really dirty and rusty. They were roaches. The breakfast is only coffee and waffles, and some cereal, not worth it to call it continental.
