I have now stayed in a few IHG properties and unfortunately this is my least favorite. For one, it’s 2024, please get smart TVs and allow guests to stream. Check in was a good experience but the rooms are ok at best (a little beat up like wall scratches and such). There is no microwave anywhere in the hotel, not even the lobby and they have to bring you one if you need (huge inconvenience when I had an hour to check out and although I was told it would take 20 mins for the microwave to come to my room, it never came). The room with a balcony was convenient since the weather was nice.

I read the other reviews about the homelessness in the area and honestly thought they were from scared person that hasn't been in a big city as there is normally homeless around. Boy was I wrong. The streets all around are filled with large groups homeless people. We had to keep switching what side of the street we walked on to avoid having to walk through them. At one point while walking to the front door, a group of homeless people started throwing glass bottles in to the street. I won't be staying in the gas lamp district again as almost half of all stores are shuttered and streets lined with homeless. Safer to stay in other parts, such as Little Italy.
