The hotel itself was fine, very close to gas town. I write this review just to let others know that the area was unsafe.If you plan to be out after dark. It was a short walk to nicer areas, but if you plan to be out later , you need to take a cab or uber to the hotel. Especially if you're older.

Unique Hotel, enjoyed immensely!

Check in was quick & even though we were very early, they stored our luggage so we could sightsee & have lunch. Each room was decorated differently & unique! The hotel was an easy walk to “Chinatown”, Steam Clock or Hop on & off bus & Several restaurants

Staff was great. It’s wasn’t quite the same as pictured . It’s down the street from an area where people are smoking crack in plain sight. If you open the bedroom window shades you have a view of the balconies of the apt. Building next to you.
