I have stayed here twice and the area around the hotei has gotten worse lots of homeless people in the area around the hotel. Iwas given a room that had not been cleaned the second room did not have a microwave as listed they did bring one to my room afer i mentioned it to the front desk. The room was nice clean bed was comfortable.

Good stay

Hotel is renovating so it’s lacking some things right now. No pool. Hot breakfast is next door at sister hotel. Did have coffee in the lobby tho. We had an issue with our AC leaking and when we told front desk, they were quick to change our room. Very responsive. Fairly comfortable stay. It was super quiet since fairly empty but we got a good deal on nightly rates and we were happy.

The room is as clear as the picture. The neighborhood has been passed by and the hotel and parking lot are run down. The people were nice and friendly. The wifi does work well.

Ricky, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

It was definitely not the most clean place and had an unpleasant odor. We had major plumbing issues as we could not even flush the toilet and had to use the lobby bathroom which also seemed to have issues. It really needs a massive renovation especially since the only elevator that worked was very small. Despite the condition of the hotel, the staff was extremely friendly in our many interactions with them whether it was waiting for the elevator at the same time or going to the front desk for something. We couldn’t have anything better to say about the staff but would not recommend the hotel itself.
Sammie, 2-night trip

It’s an older hotel, but the rooms are comfortable and the staff was helpful.

CYNTHIA, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Found an open package of men’s hair treatment under the bench in the room. Homeless people fighting in the parking lot. Altogether, the hotel was pretty clean though, staff was really nice, and it was very close to downtown
Brittney, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Hotel is dated and being worked on. The staff is amazing, Ms. Lawade is one of those people that not only took care of a mix up in reservation but made sure everything was good with our stay. She deserves 5 stars! The room was quiet very clean and the bed was comfortable. Enjoy your stay here.
