It is a particularly rugged area. I have travelled extensively around this world and as a male, well able to defend myself, found myself for the first time ever, arranging various items against the bedroom door that would have woken me if someone tried to enter during the night. I would note that I am entirely comfortable staying in a range of locations in Manhattan that might be generally seen as 'rough' - this particular street / immediate precinct is truly tough. I would not in anyway recommend the location to a single female.

This place has BED BUGS and they don't even care!

Pros: Nothing
Cons: This whole place needs fumigated, renovated and restaffed. Even better, just knock it down.
Location: The location is somewhat intimidating even in the day time let alone late at night. The only saving grace is the convenience to public transport.
We are far from fussy but from the minute we walked through the door (which two people who were clearly messed up on drugs decided to follow us through) this place was nothing but an ORDEAL. And that is the only way do describe our experience. The receptionist barely looked up from their phone to check us in, there's a funky smell near reception and kitchen...and don't even bother with the filthy kitchen. After two flights of stairs we found our stuffy room, void of any for of air conditioning or even a fan, leaving us to have to open the heavy window wide open and listen to the street construction, bars, junkies yelling and neighbours, just inches away, cooking, watching TV at high volumes and children crying. To say the least not much sleep was had but that was mostly due to the incessant vampire bed bugs biting us all night long. After some research online it became clear that this room had all the indicators of a bed bug infestation, marked sheets, cracks in walls to house them, and of course the obvious, bites from dusk til dawn. I even captured one of the blood filled insect and presented it as evidence to reception and all I received was "So what do you want me to do about it? Every hotel in San Fransisco has bed bugs." Clearly they will rent out the room to the next unsuspecting victim to suffer. I'm still scratching days later. The towel rail fell off the wall as soon as I looked at it, and the bathrooms are down the hall and scungy. DO NOT STAY HERE!
