Honestly, I think this is a very budget-friendly hotel. The access is indeed through an alley, but the alley is very busy. Besides there is a marijuana shop in the alley (trust me, they are normal, if we also ignore and mind our own business), the location is perfect for me who go out early or come home late, I still feel safe and the city vibe is very busy because it is close to One Food Center. Honestly, 1 week there was no problem whatsoever. The staff are all friendly, there is a massage area downstairs. Being able to organize your shopping in the lobby makes it feel like home. Will definitely come back here... Thank you very much.
