Hotel is decent. No carpet in the room which is a plus. Loud noises can be heard from the parking garage next door and the walls are thin. Some staff were friendly and some clearly didn’t want to be bothered.

The AC was so loud. I adjusted the settings and it didn’t help at all, there is a random towel under the mattress. I was scared to touch it. The curtains had what looked to be burns on them. The window seals had stains that could have been cleaned off. The whole forth floor was hot and humid. As you come off the elevator you breath and water and immediately start to sweat. Bathroom shower needs updating bad.

Enjoyable

We had a nice stay at the hotel. It was kept very clean and the service was friendly. Room was small but we only slept there at night so we didn’t mind. Centrally located for good food and shopping also. Construction across the street started early and went on into the evening. Not the pace if you’re looking for quiet.
