I had high hopes for this hotel, but the reality fell well short.
The arrival experience sets the tone: the street out front has visible drug use, and you have to navigate around construction workers pushing wheelbarrows of rocks just to reach the entrance, as there's little room for pedestrians. Once inside, the main lobby is under construction, so guests are routed through a hallway lined with construction materials to reach the elevators. Check-in itself happens at a makeshift desk in what looks like a converted storage room — there's no one to greet you at the door, and the whole entry sequence feels disorganized and unwelcoming.
The rooms themselves were subpar. The views were a genuine highlight, but everything else felt like an afterthought. The bathroom, in particular, was a low point — cheaply finished, with a shower that didn't feel clean or well-maintained. The toilet didn't flush properly, and based on conversations with other guests, this wasn't isolated to my room — it appears to be a hotel-wide issue.
Housekeeping/turndown service was minimal at best: towels were left on the floor, used washcloths remained in the shower, beds were made carelessly, and trash wasn't emptied. There's also no convenience store on-site, which would have been a nice amenity given the other shortcomings.
Overall, this felt less like a hotel stay and more like navigating a construction zone to reach a mediocre room. For the price point, I'd expect significantly more.
