I live this hotel was very nice and I made a lot of friends but there is too many homeless people who steal and all my clothes and devices along with my books were all stolen at this place and the staff stole all my belongings, was so upset about how I was treated and because of this I would rate this a 3 on a scale of 10

So I have struggled with homelessness for decades. This place literally saved my life, gave me a job and supported me in finding my own apartment. Thank you to all of the city staff who helped me
