"There was a man in a wheel chair, hanging about the lobby at check in (and slso throughout my stay) who lived there at the hotel, harrassing the staff and other guests."

a few also mention Vietnam vets staying there also "Bathrooms AND showers are communal located near elevators."
"Each floor has to share 2 showers and 2 toilets so that's about 30 rooms sharing"
" Its a horrible horrible place. I honeslty felt like I was going to be murdered or attacked."
"There wasnt even a bathroom in our room! we had to share 1 dirty toilet and 1 vile shower/bath with a hallway of 10-15 other rooms. we even bought flip flops to use in the shower because we didnt want any part of our bodies touching the grimy surfaces in that room."
"I went back to my room to pack and found that a hotel person had entered the room and went through my things. I reported to the clerk and security - still no refund!"
"The first day I arrived, there were LAPD outside the hotel and lots of media due to the fact that a madman was running around on the 5th floor (which I was staying on) and had stabbed someone. "
granted some of these are not the most recent of reviews and i was only looking at negative ones.
perhaps she was going from floor to floor looking to use a communal toilet/shower? perhaps the "stay" floors are located on seperate floors which is why she pressed particular numbers?
