We were able to walk to 7 museums from our location. Parking was a little like musical chairs but we usually won. It was a little cramped but I shouldn't complain because the bed was huge...Staff was helpful but sometimes a phone call was necessary.

This is not a two star accommodation. It is more like a zero star. It appears to be a rundown rooming house that sometimes has a vacant room. The location was as advertised and I enjoyed the vibrant neighborhood. It seems to be the homeless hangout, but other than that it was pretty good. There were no covers on the electrical outlets. Missing door trim. The bathroom has the wrong kind of door knob… No privacy lock. The main door knob is reversed so the key is on the inside. Initially, I was worried that somebody could lock me in and I didn’t have the key to get out. The room key did not match this lock. The deadbolt lock worked fine and was appropriate.Holes in the wall that have been patched with a period piece of press board painted the wrong color. I rent out low income housing to welfare recipients and none of my places are even remotely as bad. There was no glass for water. There was no night table for my CPAP. The walls are acoustically very thin. I could hear the fellow beside me unrolling the toilet paper. A decent handyman can fix us all up in one day, but I noticed that they haven’t done it.

This is not your typical B&B. It is fairly clean, and the lady showing me my room was friendly. I got my room early, so I was happy about that. The room was very plain and there are few amenities. The bed was comfortable. It was super cheap to stay there, so I got what I expected. It was fine for a night.

Property is very old. Needs thorough renovations. Although effort is made to have clean rooms. Great location. Too much noise from neighbors.

All good so far, though posting person is not always available. Hesitant to disturb them early in the morning to make a call. Can use amenities anytime available in the entrance.

Window is held up by a febreeze can. TV is too big for the fridge so it just leans itself in the corner. Shower takes so long to heat up you might as well boil water. Took forever to get in as the front door is always locked and had to call two numbers on the door to get in after 15 minutes.
