Disappointing

Passable
Liked: Location is close to groceries. Rooms have kitchen and kitchenware’s are also available.
Disliked: Two rooms of our friends booking was paid but was cancelled at the time of checked in. The manager didn’t even do anything to resolved this issue or offer any assistance. The room looks clean but found a bug on the bed and cockroach in the fridge. Lack of proper sanitation. They should improve this badly.

Bad
Disliked: cockroaches, dirty, unfriendly check in, messy front desk, had to ask for return of deposit, deposit of 300,- too high, loud, only one wall lamp not to becturned on and off from bed, shady people, take this property off booking.com. Many transient homeless people. A disgrace to rent out publicly

Was an interesting experience, that...
Liked: Location is fine, being not far from downtown,
Disliked: This "crack shack" is just outside of the area of town you might actually like to be in. A number of homeless people live here (in the hotel, that is) and it was certainly interesting to have someone wailing for help call you names when you offer to call an ambulance. Our neighbour, Shawna, has been here for 6 months and told us about the various break-ins and issues she has been having with the staff - at first I wasn't sure as there are always two sides, but staff were definitely less than desirable. The owner (I think) was far from friendly and, as it turns out, charged my card twice. I have since notified the hotel and weeks later, I still have no reply, so i will be contacting the CC company next.. The rooms themselves are small, which is expected for a cheap hotel, but there were stains resembling blood on the sheets, the bathroom mirror was haphazardly sitting on 3 random screws, the blind was completely broken and just hanging off of the mount, pretending to work, the fridge had black mould in the seals and despite being an upper floor room in the arid interior, the room also had a black mould aroma, suggesting something must be leaking somewhere for a long time.

SUPER sketchy - exercise caution...
Liked: Location is pretty decent, though that isn't saying a lot since most of the hotels are in this stretch.
Disliked: Had we realised that this hotel doubles as temporary housing for addicts, drunkards and loud and obnoxious homeless people, we likely would not have booked here. The check in guy completely lacked any charisma whatsoever and seemed to have some trouble using the card processing terminal. Check out was difficult in that I had to wait around for some time for him to return as his wife seemed unable to accomodate even passing along a message. The friendliest person we met during our stay was Shawna, the neighbour 2 doors over. She regaled us with tales of having her room broken into, things stolen and ongoing disputes with the owners regarding her rent over the last 6 months. The bedsheets had stains that looked like blood, bathroom mirror had been haphazardly held in place by 3 screws that were not actually attached at all and the fridge seams had black mould. The blind had completely broken and detached and during checkout, the propietor turned on the TV and seemed surprised that it worked. Monday morning also treated us to a man yelling full volume for help, but then calling my girlfriend names that are not appropriate for this review and swearing at her. When we returned a bit later, he was being hauled off in an ambulance and not for the first time either. Points for the full-size coffee maker, though not sure how practical it is in a hotel room!
