Liked the location of Hotel; walkable to downtown and venues. Commons area good. Valet parking good and that staff very friendly and helpful. Reserved king room with sitting area but said oversold so got 2 Queens no comfortable sitting area. Hotel old and well used. Needs updates. Check in staff pleasant but gave no info about what to expect or area. Amenities were none; except water. Housekeeping every other day then only changed towels and made bed. A lot of noise inside. 3 ice machines in hotel but only 1 was working. Would not recommend staying here.

Stayed for a weekend. Property is run down. Chairs and booths in restaurant in disarray. Pool was extremely cold with low lighting. Has the potential to be a great property with an amazing downtown location. Bartender was more interested in talking to his friends then drive me drinks I payed for. Food in the resturant was not impressive

It was a good location and nice staff, but there were little things that add up to big issues when I want to spend a night at a nice hotel. The room was nice, but there were pretty much no channels that I could watch because of buffering, the ice machine was broken, and the hot tub was out of commission.

It was close to the venue we were going to so it was very walkable, the staff were nice, and the valet service was convenient. The place just needs renovating- it’s an old building. Our room had a weird, pungent smell that wouldn’t go away and the bedside charging outlets didn’t work.

The digital check in did not work. Bryan at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. Valet parking for $25 seems the best option. Clean room with lots of space.

Overall it was decent. I was upset about the hot tub being out and the pool being freezing. Also, the balcony where the pool is locked is out and we had to go down 6 flights of steps and around to the parking garage.
