the room was clean and kept up .. one concern I expressed was the shower SHOULD HAVE 'SAFETY BARS the tile when wet is 'unsafe' and you can easily slip even when you are cautious..

Dated but nice.

Room was clean, beds were great. Slept well. Coffee was good but breakfast underwhelming. Not noisy despite being on a busy thoroughfare. Pool liked AWESOME but didn't have time to use.

The hotel charged twice for the room. Since they never answer the phone or return calls I am forced to work with the credit card company.

I liked the parking convenience to our room. We noticed other clients of the hotel looking like bums from another part of the world. Frankly I had a hard time sleeping.

Breakfast was below average. And when that is the case you need to make sure you don’t run out of coffee, at the very least.
