Neighborhood is terrible with few food options. This hotel is bizarre. Greek statues in the lobby and food area while every door in the place has been beaten and dented. No complaints about the room. At least the Marriott next door has security and food.

The room was functional, but not great. our door didn't lock unless we slammed it, dogs on our floor were disruptive all night, and the "complimentary" breakfast ended at least 40 minutes before the stated time. The staff we interacted with were nice for the most part, but the experience overall leaves much to be desired.
