Can I stay there was amazing the beds were soft the rooms were especially clean everything was so clean they even had a guy out in the hallway as I was going back to my room polishing the ice machine the breakfast was pretty good they have a machine in there that makes the pancakes for you you just push your button it drops the batter and it makes it and then when it pops out the hand it's a pancake is fantastic they also and the food was good it was fresh the staff especially was amazing and they were very helpful and did everything in their power to make sure that I was a happy person when I left there I do expect to return again and go there again I had a fantastic time it is very quiet and I love the middle private balconies off the rooms that's the whole mood for the room thank you for my stay I appreciate you guys very much and I hope to see you soon Misty Ross
Check-in was fine but my first room had sheets that had many hairs on them and other gross things. I asked for new sheets and was given a new room because they said they couldn't get new sheets. The new room was much better and was an upgrade from the first so it worked out anyway. The minor hassle was somewhat annoying when I just wanted to go to bed. I asked the hotel front desk for information on a USB outlet for my phone charger and they said the room had none. Upon getting into the room there were multiple USB charge ports. I also asked the front desk if they had a vending machine upstairs and they said they didn't know. Hotel staff should be more knowledgeable, especially front desk staff. Checkout was fine and my overall visit was okay and I might return here.

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Not bad for being older. Comfortable beds. Close to food trucks. Nice brekfast in the morning.
Add $65 to the price when you arrive.
Add $13 for parking fee.
Also the proximity is nonwhere near OSHU / doernbechers- and taxes and fees are NOT included as stated online.
For an older building, it's a wonderful place to stay. The mattresses felt new, no noise from the neighbors and the shower had great pressure. The carpet is older but in good condition. The paint is up to date. The hotel staff were all friendly and helpful. It does need an area around the beds to plug in devices for charging instead of across the room but that may not be a bad thing either. Only saw 1 small garbage can under the bathroom sink. If you're on the shorter side, my mom and I are both 5'3", you may want to bring a stool and the bed are a little high. Also, we rented a bedroom with 2 queen beds. We had a ways to walk to get to the room. My Mom walks with a cane so it wore her out a bit. The extra charge, $13 per night, was not advertised up front so that was a bit of a surprise. I could understand if the property was fenced in but they share their parking with a car rental company. Overall, it was a good experience and we would stay there again.
At 2:00am multiple dogs began barking very loudly. Took half an hour before owner clamed them down. No staff intervened. Took another half an hour for owner to get dogs out of the building while having loud conversation with other upset guests. Dogs continued barking in parking lot right outside of rooms. More than an hour of disturbance in the middle of the night before things calmed down. Mentioned to staff the next morning and there was no offer of a way to make it right.
Staff was friendly, stay wasn’t that expensive however after the parking fee it added up to what I could have paid somewhere else with better amenities. The breakfast was awful,the bananas didn’t even look like bananas , the hard boiled egg was the only cooked item not hot items.
