Staff was fine although check in took about a half hour (2 people in line in front of me). This was a step above a motel and would've been ok for about $100 per night.

This is a reconditioned hotel. They have done a decent job with the rehab, but like in many of these rehabilitation projects, the devil is in the details and you can see that in the painting and the caulking, particularly in the bathrooms. There is some rust and eventually the rust will corrode inside the concrete, and they will have to tear it down or find new ways to temper temporarily rehabilitated for more use, but all in all it was a pleasant stay. The front desk took 2 mins to get me checked in.

Our first issue when arriving was the fact that the A/C was apparently either off or not operating because of how intently hot it was inside of the lobby. We were greeted by the friendly hotel staff but weren’t made aware of any deposit that needed to be made. Surely they could’ve advertised better a heads up for hotel customers that they’d need a deposit upon arrival but nonetheless we agreed and got swiftly checked into our hotel room. When we entered the room we noticed the TV didn’t work

Disliked: Amenities
Booking website and the hotel fees did not match. The room had the sheer window curtain but was missing the blackout curtain, so we had the bright outdoor lights shining in our room all night. The TV would not just turn on, and the instructions to input a code did not work. The QR code on the TV did not work either, except taking us to a part that asked us to pay $9.99 for some plan. The "FREE TV" button on the remote did not do anything either. We were unable to use the TV at all. The breakfast was limited and not good. We wanted bagels or oatmeal but the only breads were assorted mini muffins (not great) and very white bread. When booking it mentioned shuttles to the Universal Theme Parks but there was only one pick up time at 8:30am and one drop off time to the hotel at 6pm. That does not allow for visiting the park the entire time it is open, or coming back to the hotel if need be, so we thought we could save money on park parking by taking the shuttle but we could not. The front desk concierge informed us that the 3rd party website we booked through was misleading, and that all the details are on their website. It defeats the purpose to book through a 3rd party site if we have to verify everything or read the fine print on another site.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast options were limited but taste very well. Prior to booking a property fee was made aware. Additional fees were hidden and disclosed upon arrival such as 50$ deposit and 15$ nightly fee for parking per car. There is a sign stating there are smoking designated areas in lobby but there were customers smoking right outside lobby door filling up the lobby and cafeteria area with the smell. Staff did not advise people to move to alternative areas.

Furniture in the room was falling apart. Not very clean. Still had urine splatter on the toilet seat. Pillows are very small and lumpy. Key card would stop working and I had to make multiple trips up and down from four floors to the office to get back in my room. Price looked reasonable but after you factor in all the fees you might as well stay at a Hilton.

Additional $128’s in fees charged at time of check in. Parking is not included with the room…. You have to pay for that too. Rooms are a bit dated and all metal surfaces suffered form of exposed rust… several wooden furniture items had broken ends from what appeared to be water damage. You could hear the springs in the bed any time you moved…did not even have real pillows, each bed had three 12 inch x 12inch throw pillows that you would find on a couch. None of these things were “fresh or new” damages…. When reported to front desk… simply replied with “huh…. We will ask maintenance” Online booking images are not the true view of the hotel. Would not return nor recommend hotel without some real updates/improvements for a family stay. However perfect for young adults on a budget spring break type trip
