This hotel has to rank as one of the strangest I've ever stayed in. First of all is the location. It's the only remaining business in what is now a largely abandoned mall/retail area. The mall across the street is abandoned, as are all the surrounding properties. The entire area has a lot of homeless people, and you often see homeless people in the parking lot. It feels depressing at best and largely quite scary going out of the hotel. At night, it's not advisable to leave the hotel. Police and EMS are often found attending the abandoned buildings, and sirens are a constant background noise. The hotel is very quiet due to there being barely any guests. After all, who needs to stay in an abandoned part of town? It has quite an eery feeling and the parking lot is largely deserted, aside from a couple of RVs people were living in (yes, living in). Unfortunately, our room's balcony was unusable. Like the abandoned buildings around us, it had been taken over entirely by pigeons. They had made a nest on the balcony, and every time we opened the door, we were attacked by pigeons defending their territory. It seems that turf wars are not only found outside the hotel but also on the balcony. On the last night we stayed, some guests arrived for a weekend celebration. While this hotel seemed a strange place for a celebration, it didn't deter them, and the noise went on until roughly 3 a.m. Twice, reception was called (by us and other guests) as it sounded like a fight had broken out. Reception was receptive and attempted to get them to quieten down, but to no avail. This was the last straw, and we checked out early. I wouldn't honestly recommend this hotel to anyone. There really is nothing there worth staying in this hotel for, unless you're perhaps an urban explorer.
