The place is clean and seems safe. Short walk to 5th Avenue, convenient. One of the showers did not work, but they fixed right away. We stayed 1 week, on the third day they forgot to clean our room, next morning I mentioned it, we were out all day, when we came back room was still not clean. They did it the next day. Overall, the hotel is clean. We liked the food at the restaurant , good food, good prices.

5 stars for the shower alone! Immediate hot water and unbelievable water pressure. Very comfortable king size bed, great internet connection, and nice tv. Very basic set up. I ate upstairs but didn't get a chance to checkout the rooftop but it did look like fun. The locks on the door are very rinkadink and questionable. Also, you can easily hear people in other rooms. There is no fridge for food and cold drinks which for me personally, is a deal breaker. Otherwise, a great stay.

This hotel had excellent wifi and was in the heart of the city. It took 15 minutes to walk to the beach and the Walmart was 2 blocks away. Aesthetically it’s quite brutalist but the staff are lovely.
