Giant Center

Excellent experience!!

The hotel is operating while undergoing major repair/refurbishment. The neighborhood is best described as marginal. There are row houses and tenements a block away. The residents and businesses just pile their bags of trash and garbage on the street corners. Hotel parking is across the street and late night access is best achieved with a large armed escort. The elevators are rigged to require a room key to operate and are somewhat stubborn which can leave you using the stairs. Staff are quite helpful and most have a sense of humor about the various issues. Not an unpleasant stay, but the advertised price per night implies a somewhat different experience.
