EXTREMELY UNSAFE location. There is heavy drug usage and violence less than 3 paces outside the…read moreentrance to the hotel. When we left, we were harassed and followed for blocks. When we returned, the hotel staff LOCKED US OUT due to the rapidly increasing hostility and violence in the large gathering immediately outside the hotel. This left us stuck in the middle of the building chaos. I have never felt so unsafe. We immediately left the hotel and went elsewhere. When I contacted the hotel for a refund they told me "We are unable to refund the costs for your stay. Due to this current situation and the associated challenges, we cannot accommodate every refund request, as this would significantly impact our financial standing."

If you value your safety and the safety of your children and loved ones I beg you to stay ANYWHERE else.
