My stay this time was much better. Only thing is having to go to the front desk for linens to swap out. I didn’t have any towels in my bathroom. The worker only wanted to give me one set. I know for a fact they start off with two. Even for single occupancy. I didn’t argue. Just went back upstairs. Made sure to review when my visit was over.

Spartan experience

Room spartan but clean, need to provide hangers for clothes and towels. Getting towels was the most difficult ever…daily. 1st evening staff not nearly as pleasant as 2nd evening staff. No table to sit at for work or eating in room.

There is not an official type desk in the room with a desk chair. Some of us that travel need to do computer work. Smelled like smoke in the room. There is a bar that in the evening was actually open and a nice setting. Parking limited right in front of the entry, was to the far end of the building. Great close proximity to the AT&T center for a concert or game.

The aesthetic of the hotel is vintage which is what caught my eye. I did an early check in. The room I had got there were dirt and stains on the pillows and sheets. The room didn’t have any towels. And it had an old dirt smell. I went to front desk requesting new sheets and pillow cases and towels, the front desk representative was very disrespectful saying that if I wanted clean sheets and towels I needed to call before 11am which I had just checked in. The nice lady that originally checked me in was leaving so I guess there was a shift change. So I go back to my room , I look at the window and there is a car parked right at my window. So I instantly started feeling more uncomfortable. I go to the front desk and ask to just get a new room because someone’s car is right in front of my window , she said “oh that’s just our bartenders car I will ask him to move it” at this point I have somewhere to be and can’t get ready because it took a while for them to move the car so I went back and asked for a refund, she then tried to offer me another room and I had already booked another room because it was too much happening and I was extremely uncomfortable and was receiving horrible service because she kept being smart like she didn’t want to help me

The connivence of the hotel was perfect for a 2night stay. Clean and love the decor. Staff was a bit uptight and not informative about how you hav to request housekeeping. Had to repeatedly ask front desk for more towels til i was able to get some. Breakfast was okay, love that you are close to other restaurants and store options.

your mileage may vary

The staff were friendly and responsive. The property is clean and the breakfast is more than adequate. However, the room experience was considerably below my expectations, based on prior reviews. I was provided with threadbare, stained towels which were too small to wrap around my average-sized body. The water pressure is poor and the shower head only has a few spouts...it was difficult to bathe properly. There was no clock in the room and the closet area had NO HANGERS. The only source of illumination in the room is a BIG LIGHT which is overheard but only controlled by the switch by the door. Without the TV, I would have stumbled badly on the way back to bed. The refrigerator and A/C worked well, though. Overall, it was a very uneven experience. Were it not for the convenience of the location to the activities I had planned, I would have checked out after the 1st night and slept on my friend's toddler's floor.
