It was a nice set up. The designs and decorations were nice. The bed was very comfortable. The only disappointment was the guests in other rooms that were loud and disruptive after late night hours. But the staff did rectify the issue when it was brought to their attention.

Decent value for the price. Older building. Very noisy walking down the hall to our room. Breakfast was ok. Nothing special. Neighborhood sketchy. About what I expected from previous reviews.

We were very pleased with our room and the breakfast. We had a king room with a living/dining area. The room was huge! However the neighborhood is quite bad. There was a homeless person and all their stuff camped out in the median on the street out front. My other complaint is the parking fee. We chose this hotel because it listed parking. We paid $47 parking for two nights. Once inside we loved every minute of our stay.

Unfriendly staff

My second time here since the first stay was good. However this time has been a bit different, mainly with the front desk staff, especially the one who checking out. Formerly working in the hospitality industry, this is definitely way below standard. Check-in staff just mumbles in monotone without much care and I had to ask her a few times to repeat in order to understand and she still seems annoyed about it. Unprofessional. During checkout on Friday 7/25, the front desk staff was more than lackluster. She was unfriendly, has attitude issue, during whole checkout process only responding in single words or grunts. No greeting or anything, just grunting: "room number?", even though I handed her the key card with the room number clearly written on it. She gave me back the key card for me to read it to her. How lazy and rude. Clearly she doesn't want to be there. If you don't like your job, quit. Otherwise, do your job right.
