"I stayed here on a solo trip as a woman, and it was a decent experience. The staff was friendly and responsive, especially Ashraf. He asked if I had eaten and even offered to give me food if I hadn’t! If you want somewhere clean to rest your head, then this will serve your purpose. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was nice and there is a working fridge and Roku TV.
It is sparse, though, so it’s just a place to sleep, not hang out. You can hear noise and movement in the halls late at night, which is not ideal if you’re a light sleeper. Luckily, I WAS able to get a decent night’s sleep. Additionally, there is a construction site directly across from the hotel which started jackhammering at 7am on Saturday morning and continued until I left around 1pm. Just be aware and bring ear plugs if that’s a bother to you. The area is next to low income housing and people hang out late at night, but there are also families and people just going about their lives. As long as you’re vigilant, you should be fine. I didn’t have a problem, and I quickly adjusted to walking to and from the subway, even around 10pm.
I would just say that the staff shouldn’t announce the room number out loud, just as a precaution and especially for women. However, everyone I encountered was friendly and minded their own business. Overall, I would recommend this as an affordable place to stay if you want to be close to the city."
