Absolutely unsanitary and degrading for human occupancy. To top it off, found a live bed bug crawling on the bed. The front desk apologetic but no action taken at all to remediate or redress the situation. I left without staying overnight. A truly traumatic experience that I would not wish upon my worst enemy.

I stayed here about a month ago and while it wasn't amazing, it didn't cross the line into roaches. I found one in my room during my stay this time. You get what you pay for here, which is a closet with a bed and water damaged bathrooms down the hall without provided toilet paper or soap. You have to ask them for toilet paper and then keep it in your room. I ended up donating some hand soap I bought from a nearby store.

This was NOT a hotel room. This was a broom closet with a bed. I checked out a 3 am and couldn't wait to get out. How WOTIF can charge $150 for this hole in the wall and sleep at night is beyond me. And they had the gall to write me that I grabbed a bargain !

Room is very small. It can't even fit a chair. It doesn't have windows. The bathrooms are smelly and not clean. Bring your slippers and toilet paper. Hand sanitazier is a must. It's affordable but I can't recommend it.

Front desk was yelling at a homeless person while I was sleeping, pretty annoyed by that. I don’t think the front desk/landlord should host homeless people in the lobby. It’s filthy and unsanitary. Honestly I wished front desk call the police to get them removed from the premises for loitering/trespassing, I can’t bother to deal with the lack of safety while walking through the lobby. Shame.

What you pay for
You get what you pay for. Very small room with shared bathroom. Relatively clean but building is falling apart. Open holes in the ceiling in bathroom, sometimes drips water. Friendly staff and good location.

This is the barest of spaces. Rooms are windowless closets. Mine was noisy from a TV going all night (2 am until 7:30 am). The bathrooms down the hall are dirty, have no toilet paper in any of them, have no mirrors, and dubious plumbing. Pillow was uncomfortable; no top sheet, just a blanket. The only positive, other than price, was that the single sheet was clean.

This place must cease to operate. It is a danger to itself and others. Examples from my attempt to stay include: an overdosed woman who had soiled herself was laying in the entrance area atop trash bags of her belongings (I'm genuinely worried about her too - is she ok? Do they even care?), excrement on the walls of the bathroom, no toilet paper or soap, rooms were not even rooms - just sectioned off areas with a grid on top (meaning open ceilings - with cigarette smoke freely passing room to room which is NOT "non smoking"), in general an insecure area e.g. people not staying there we're climbing in and out of a window leading to the fire escape to linger and/or use drugs in the bathrooms then leave. This scam must close and stop harming the community.

Dirty, smelly, unsafe. junkies always hang out around the entrance, some of them lay down there passed out by the stairs. Mold in the bathrooms. Unclean. I didn’t risk to use the shower. Find something else.
