Trust your gut feeling -- this is not a good place to stay!
I had made reservations at this hotel for May 2012. The centralized location and low rates caught my eye online. When I actually got to the hotel it became clear why prices here are cheaper than others. To be frank: it's a terrible, unsafe location. The streets are lined with adult strip clubs. Peddlers and junkies will approach you and ask for money. Airplanes frequently travel overhead. Although the staff is friendly, the professionalism is poor. I'm very particular about cleanliness and detail -- it didn't take an eagle's eye to spot some of the problems. You step into the elevator and question its maintenance record (I'd like to know if it's even up to code... it would have been nice to see a posting). Look up and you can see a few dead critters in the light screens. The rooms are no better. Smoke alarm batteries are missing from the detectors, and sure enough, this hotel allows smoking (I'm sure the fire marshal won't be too please about that). Dead ants and chiggers can be be seen in the bathrooms; they're even smushed onto the walls. I don't believe the window sills have ever been wiped down (definitely a problem for people allergic to mold and dust). Stains and residues found on the carpet and chairs. Need I go on?
