The room was nice and clean although the queen size bed is not that big but overall I had a good experience and will stay again.

N/A. Good weather so just left the sliding door open. Needed the conference room for a family dinner. They went out of their way to make it comfortable. Very good staff! Friendly and helpful. Location is excellent for exploring “The Hill.”

Chelsea, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff is always great. Joanna is AWESOME! Bed is comfy, great water pressure, easy and safe parking. Near dozens of places to eat, close to a major gas station. Everything I like during a business trip!
cathy, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I arrived at almost 4 am after a long day at the hospital—my mom had surgery, & I just needed a few hours of real rest before heading back. Hotels.com and the front desk staff made it super easy to check in way before the normal 3 p.m. time, no hassle at all. The room was spotless, bed was so comfortable, and it honestly felt like heaven after trying to sleep upright in those awful hospital chairs. Exactly what I needed when I needed it.
Sierra, 1-night trip

gary, 1-night trip

The room was Excellent clean and the bed was cozy plus soft like cotton
Anthony, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean room and friendly staff. Hotel is sort of set back away from other businesses so felt a bit isolated. Despite other reviews, coffee in lobby and Keurig in the room!
William, 2-night trip

Staff was friendly and professional.
James, 2-night trip

Easy to find and a great neighborhood for Italian dining.
Michael, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The room was clean, but very antiquated and worn out. The hallways and elevator were dirty. The room keys are 30 year old technology and they won’t work if you put them anywhere near your phone or keys or anything electronic… and you’ll need that key to work if you want to enter after 10pm. Patio door doesn’t lock. The photos on the hotel listing are from 10+ years ago. They won’t change your reservation even with 48 hours notice. This hotel is comparable to a motel. Worth no more than $90/night. The area is safe. The front desk staff are very kind. They’re the best part about the place. Otherwise, it’s in shambles. Nothing like the listing shows.
Adam, 5-night trip

It was ok. Staff was great.

Look good in this location
ThuThuy, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Few little things

Small balcony, but a nice touch to have. The Barricade at one end of the parking lot was confusing. The three attempts to get a room key that worked wasn't ideal. Lastly, the bathroom is a little compact, but has all the amenities you need.
Paul, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I will definitely stay here again

It was a last minute reservation due to a power outage. The hotel was very nice and it was safe and quiet. The bed was so comfortable.

The days that i stay there was great and the staff was so nice to me
Gerald, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The place is obviously old. The elevator made so much noise and we were a little concerned about especially since we were on the 7th floor. towels were thin and old. carpet felt damp. Floors sticky. but bed was comfortable with plenty of pillows. Nice enough at check in. For the money it was fine.
Marye Pat, 2-night trip

Staff was really nice and helpful.
Erica, 3-night trip

Has a balcony staff is very nice.
Micaela, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Great location, friendly staff

The neighborhood is a little challenging, loud people smelling of cannabis hanging around the exterior at night. The hotel was dated but clean and a nice place to sleep. The pool was nice in the hotter days. They are less than a mile from forest park, which is a huge bonus. Lots of good restaurants around also.
JOSHUA, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

The bed was clean and comfortable so if you just need to sleep this place is ok. However it was not clean and the bathroom, elevators, etc. were very outdated.
Michael, 1-night trip

This hotel was not as nice as the pictures on the listing made it look, but it was clean overall and the staff was nice.
