You need to ignore the bleak front of the building and, once inside, the haunted stairs. They're dreadful at an "I'm not going in there" level of bad, to be honest.
If you do, though, you will be pleasantly surprised with clean, large, well-lit, stocked-with-amenities rooms that reward your effort. There is a patio out back, tea and coffee, and the host genuinely wants to make sure you have everything you need.
It's a good place though there is one last caveat: the rooms overlook Martin Luther King Way. There will not be a single 60-second gap between 7:AM and about 1:AM when a truck or car won't trundle by noisily, and until dawn you'll hear vehicles every few minutes even then. If you are one who sleeps through anything, it'll be fine: the traffic noise if not on par with a highway and the neighborhood is not full of shouting or violence or craziness, but the traffic is steady and noticeable.
So this is a hotel I can recommend to a heavy sleeper - it's good! Seriously! It's just held back from greatness by the building facade, stairway and main-arterial road noise.
