this Hotel commits fraud!!!! Legal actions need to be taken
I stayed at the hotel on April 21, 2012. it was awful, the bed frames to both beds were broken, there is lead paint on the pipes, tiles are broken, bead sheets didn't look clean, the elevator stopped mid-way to our room and the 7th floor and i thought we were stuck, then started again. I thought it was a homeless shelter. and reading all of these other reviews i believe it should be shut down! 
Front desk was rude and refused to help. A friend had damaged the bathroom door which i was upfront about, they tried charging me $500 to replace a door that is at most $60, i argued asked for the manager, Joel came out argued with me was rude, wouldn't supply me any documentation of where $500 came from, he just said thats the way it is, after half hour of arguing and having everyone with me that was tired and wanted to go home, i had them write out so i had documentation "We will refund the difference to you for what the cost of the door is and fax an invoice to you". They have done neither! I have called 3 times talked to Joel once, got hung up on by both, lied to, i finally sent certified mail to the hotel and tracking it and they refuse to get it. I will be taking the matter to court. Anyone that has been over charged, or not refunded for cancellations please contact me for help of getting your money back!
