The required $100 deposit and low price should have been a red flag. The front desk staff were extremely nice and helpful. It seems like there are quite a few boarders/regulars here. The pictures are misleading -- stock photos? The room had a broken lamp, flaking lampshades, and the HVAC unit cover was broken. But it had a working microwave and fridge. There were a few tiny, oily black stains on the fitted sheet at the head of the bed and one towel, but the bed and the bathroom were very clean. The bedroom was quiet, though I heard my neighbors when in the bathroom. It got cold at night, but when I turned on the heater, it emitted a urine smell, so I turned it off. Stairwell has a faint hint of that too, but I still used it since the elevator takes about 30 seconds to close. There are constantly people hanging around the front entrance since there is no smoking in the building. The policy didn't stop someone from smoking weed somewhere on my floor, however. I won't be back.
