Front desk was yelling at a homeless person while I was sleeping, pretty annoyed by that. I don’t think the front desk/landlord should host homeless people in the lobby. It’s filthy and unsanitary. Honestly I wished front desk call the police to get them removed from the premises for loitering/trespassing, I can’t bother to deal with the lack of safety while walking through the lobby. Shame.

What you pay for
You get what you pay for. Very small room with shared bathroom. Relatively clean but building is falling apart. Open holes in the ceiling in bathroom, sometimes drips water. Friendly staff and good location.

This is the barest of spaces. Rooms are windowless closets. Mine was noisy from a TV going all night (2 am until 7:30 am). The bathrooms down the hall are dirty, have no toilet paper in any of them, have no mirrors, and dubious plumbing. Pillow was uncomfortable; no top sheet, just a blanket. The only positive, other than price, was that the single sheet was clean.

BED BUGS AND ROACHES!!! TAKE THIS WARNING SERIOUSLY

2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Amenities
This place must cease to operate. It is a danger to itself and others. Examples from my attempt to stay include: an overdosed woman who had soiled herself was laying in the entrance area atop trash bags of her belongings (I'm genuinely worried about her too - is she ok? Do they even care?), excrement on the walls of the bathroom, no toilet paper or soap, rooms were not even rooms - just sectioned off areas with a grid on top (meaning open ceilings - with cigarette smoke freely passing room to room which is NOT "non smoking"), in general an insecure area e.g. people not staying there we're climbing in and out of a window leading to the fire escape to linger and/or use drugs in the bathrooms then leave. This scam must close and stop harming the community.

Dirty, smelly, unsafe. junkies always hang out around the entrance, some of them lay down there passed out by the stairs. Mold in the bathrooms. Unclean. I didn’t risk to use the shower. Find something else.

Know what you are getting and you will be fine. It will be a closet. You will see a lot of cockroaches. The bathrooms are pretty gross. As long as you are ok with it the value cant be beat.

If you're looking at this property, go onto Airbb and book a room in a house instead. A room in an Aibnb will have more privacy and amenities than this space. That warning aside, this place is a great example of you getting what you pay for. The room itself was a closet with basically just a bed. To go to the bathroom or shower, you have to go down the hallway outside your room and use one of 3 bathrooms in moldy condition. One of the bathrooms had a leaky pipe that drips down an anyone using the toilet. All of them had water damage on the ceiling. As far as what to bring here, I'd highly recommend staying here without shower shoes based on the visible condition of the bathrooms alone. I also had to ask for toilet paper since there isn't any stocked in the bathrooms at all. If you're ok with the above, staff is nice and functions as a 24 hour doorman. I didn't see any pest issues despite the water damage in the bathrooms.
