Good hotel in a bad neighbourhood
We stayed here for three nights in June. The hotel was clean and the staff were great and very helpful. The fitness center and the pool were the nicest i've seen in a hotel. The rooms were nice but a little dated. The items in the mini bar were way overpriced and we were charged over $10 per day for internet access.
There were a surprising amout of homeless people in the area. We were asked for spare change multiple times as soon as we left the hotel. We saw a person smoking crack in the middle of the day about a block from the hotel. Whatever you do don't go west when leaving the hotel! I have travelled to alot of rough cities on the east coast and I have never seen anything as bad as the neighbourhood two blocks west of this hotel. For this reason I would not stay here again.
