The Good: Price, location
The Bad: Expect $20-$50 in unexpected fees, expect staff to care less if you’re there or not, expect to have your deposit on hold for months after check out (literally there were multiple people complaining about this)
Overall - this is a great place to stay just have your expectations in line with the price and inconsistencies that you will encounter

Upon arrival I actually had a choice to take a different hotel that was 5 blocks closer to Johnson St so I took it. It was decent with new floors and had a mini refrigerator. Downside was being on the corner of N. Ocean Ave. I heard the traffic all day and all night at the times I was in the room. Service at the office desk was great.

The inclusive breakfast was very limited and the same each day- bread,bagel and cream cheese. The timing differ to what stated online, 7-8 instead of the advertised 7-9. Limited seating space, small area and short time. Definitely don’t cater to customers. Cleanliness in apartment was questionable with cockroaches seen in the bathroom.

Asked for 100 Deposit and said it would not be repaid for 7 to 10 business days. That’s theft

No no no!
Sorry but this was beyond terrible. Badly in need of renovation, everything old, worn out, dirty. Blinds broken, floor nasty. Bathroom awful.
Check in 4 blocks away.
Luckily for us the lock on the front door wouldn’t lock, and we were moved to another property.
