The property was in need of some serious deep cleaning. Elevator floor was gross elevator control panel falling off. Room smelled like smoke and old smoke. Dresser drawers would not stay closed. Comforter and sheets had old stains on them.

Hotel smells like weed

First, they sent us off to the third floor where it smelled like weed so bad you couldn’t even breathe. In the bathroom was nasty with hairs in the tub like it hadn’t been cleaned so I went and requested a new room and they put us on the first floor and it was a little bit better still not perfect

Liked: Cleanliness
Room was dated, tired, but clean. Only a queen bed room was available... small. Read reviews about area being unsafe but we felt safe ... Lots of hotels and restaurants to easily walk to. Our room was near the elevator and very noisy. Overall, room was adequate, area felt safe, so I'd rate it a 7 out of 10.

The staff was friendly. The dining/breakfast station and sitting area were spacious, with good lighting, clean, neat, and with many options. Have strong smoke odor in the hallway, possibly because of old carpet and people smoke in the stairway. The room was clean but the bathroom is outdated. For what the area has to offer, I will recommend this hotel.

Stay was Good!

The only issue for me was the bed and the lack of use of a vacuum cleaner throughout hotel and in room.
