I’ve stayed here over years, and always enjoyed my time. It does seem like the city is working towards cleaning itself up. A few zombies around the hotel, but never felt unsafe or I was walking down a “bad street”. The hotel itself is just old. It feels old, not in a classy way. While the charm is still there, it’s just weathered. Staff was great! Bar was good. It’s clean, but I probably wouldn’t stay again, even at this very reasonable price.
