Good price, nice staff, Very trashy lobby, terrible area. Room was better than lobby, but the bathroom didn’t lock and you share the bathroom with other people. If you’re a single guy trying to save money, this place is great, but don’t bring your wife/girlfriend, or kids

Alena

Liked: Staff & service
Structure appeared extremely old; super trippy decor; interesting and unique - very different from typical budget lodging such as a Motel 6. Almost a caricature of a hostel. Might not appeal to all. We stayed in the building next door (I think they called it the "balcony" room - no balcony. It was very small, quiet and we felt safe. Bus and trolley lines were very close. Overall vibe of the place was great.
