Upon arrival I actually had a choice to take a different hotel that was 5 blocks closer to Johnson St so I took it. It was decent with new floors and had a mini refrigerator. Downside was being on the corner of N. Ocean Ave. I heard the traffic all day and all night at the times I was in the room. Service at the office desk was great.

The inclusive breakfast was very limited and the same each day- bread,bagel and cream cheese. The timing differ to what stated online, 7-8 instead of the advertised 7-9. Limited seating space, small area and short time. Definitely don’t cater to customers. Cleanliness in apartment was questionable with cockroaches seen in the bathroom.

Sorry but this was beyond terrible. Badly in need of renovation, everything old, worn out, dirty. Blinds broken, floor nasty. Bathroom awful. Check in 4 blocks away. Luckily for us the lock on the front door wouldn’t lock, and we were moved to another property.

It was somewhat difficult to find the hotel, the reception is far from the hotel and they tell you that you can park in the public parking lot and it is not true. The floor in the room was somewhat dirty, but the beds and kitchen (study) were very spacious. The lady who greets you in the breakfast room is not pleasant or friendly at all. I give it a 6 out of 10
