Though the room was somewhat clean, the physical property and building was less to be desired. The building had lots of "patch" jobs, including in the room. The smoke detector in my room had been ripped off the wall and a plastic bag was shoved in the hole to fill the space. Some surfaces were still dirty. However, sheets were clean and the bathroom appeared to be as well.
As the rooms are all accessed by outer walk ways, these areas were dirty and lined with cigarette buds. Wall were dirty and boxes a trash were by several landing areas by the stairs. People also smoked in these landing areas, one being outside of my room, and thus the wall AC unit pulled the smoke into my room.
As the room was not that expensive, I didn't expect the hotel to be in the "best" part of town. One block in one directors was okay. A block in the other direction was not that great. I would not recommend walking anywhere around the hotel. I have stayed in some questionable neighborhoods, but this one had me uncomfortable.
