This place was great. The management made sure I had everything I needed. The old school elevator was certainly a new experience. All in all, I’d definitely recommend.

The worst place ever!!!!
This place is dire! NO front desk attendance ever, and when you ring, both numbers, they don't answer! The room was dirty, the windows had not witnessed cleaning for months! There is NO heating, I mean, NONE - in the middle of winter. My floor, 3rd, had no internet access! It's actually not a hotel, it's a run-down boarding house that should be demolished, it's filthy, the carpets in the halls are beyond disgusting. Rooms NEVER get serviced, I was there 8 days, worst stay of my life - will be liaising with hotels.com, this place is beyond disgusting. AVOID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Couldn’t check in at 4pm because room wasn’t ready and the hallway smells really musty since it’s an old building. Room was small but had a street view window and comfy bed with nice shower. Would stay again if listed under seventy dollars.

The keyless system was nice. I didn't like the lack of amenities (TV not working, no toilet paper) and the elevator was difficult to use.

PROS-Affordability. Convenience. Staff are very helpful. CONS-Upstairs above me, Room #203 very noisy & chaotic especially past 12 am: dragging of furnitures, play loud music, took a shower upstairs & water overflowed & started coming down the ac vault into my bathroom wet floor & toilet. Had to use all my towels to contain water. From the very first day, I got off the elevator to go to my room (#103) and heavy cloud of smoke (weed & cigarettes) hits you. This goes on every single day. Im in #103 but it came from the one of the room by the elevator next to me. NOISE- 1).Dog barking from one of the rooms during sleep hours. Dont know which room. 2). Someone keeps knocking constantly at the front entrance door (after 12am) to be let in. My room is right above the entrance. 3). One evening I opened up the front entrance to go outside & a tall black guy on a bicycle (look like he was high) brushed past me & said, "CALISTO HOTEL, oh thank god". I told him that he need to call the office to get a code for the door. He said as he was walking past me, "Yes. Let me put down my bike so I can call them". As I was waiting for my delivery, I looked through the glass door & it looked like he was sleeping in the lobby chair. He saw me peeking through the door so he got up & went into the elevator. That night there were unusual loud noise coming from the room above me, Room #203. 4). Street Noise past 12am: Pedestrians/homeless screaming at the top of their lungs, yelling, fighting

As soon as you walk into the building there’s a horrendous smell of piss, just to realize if you look closely at the carpets you could see the old piss stains from the house-less community break ins on bush st. Nobody at the front desk, the room was pretty decent and didn’t have the smell of the piss but still was disgusting in the hallways and lobby. The locks on our hotel door and almost all of them in the room and throughout the building look like they’ve been attempted break ins or successful. I thought it was rat bites on the wood but it was from the previous break ins so that’s that. Also the entire place is definitely a renovated old apartment complex, not an actual hotel or motel even. Had a great time in the city though outside of that. Would I recommend if you want something cheap in the city with a fridge? Sure. But nothing more.
