Alps Hotel

This is not a hotel, this is rental studio apartments. They are a great price if you don’t have a car, but what I dont understand is why the management company refuses to paint or clean the rental units! They are done in a very old, dirty dark mustard and brown color scheme, the tile floors in the unit and shower are disgusting. The metal shower doors are dirty and rusted. The units would actually be great if the management would repaint them white like the model unit they use in the ad. The unit in the ad (craigslist every month — several ads — «Cozy» Studio in International district”) — is clean and bright with white paint and a renovated bathroom. I have gone twice and seen 3 different units. NONE resembled this — and the last time I made an appointment I WAS SPECIFIC about wanting to see the renovated unit in the ad. I was told these were all renovated. When I arrived and demanded specifics, I was told they were renovated 5 years ago — and poorly at that! Also, each one has a cloud of flies when you enter! I am not exaggerating — a CLOUD of flies, in ALL 3 UNITS I SAW. And the leases are all 12 months? Really?
I would move here if it wasn’t a bait and switch with the ad, and if the management company took some kind of basic responsability for the units.
