We booked this hotel because when booking it stated, had breakfast and a pool and connecting rooms. When we get there, we’re told our style rooms cannot be connected, but they’re right next to each other. But they weren’t. They were across the hall on the same floor and that’s fine but update your website and communicate better with customers. The first morning we try to go get breakfast and we’re told we have to pay for breakfast! $14 for a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich is ridiculous. When I explained to the gentleman that we picked this hotel because it included breakfast, he told me to show him where it says that. Then proceeded with an attitude stating that because our rooms were discounted through Expedia, we don’t get breakfast. We went to check out the pool because we planned on having a bum pool day. And when we got there, there was a notice that it was closed by the health department due to bacteria. You would think because of that inconvenience they would’ve at least offered us free breakfast, but they didn’t. We also had to keep getting our cards re-registered to our rooms twice a day. Honestly, we only slept there because of all the nonsense. We will never be staying there again and do not recommend it for anybody to stay there.

Classy place to stay

Nice hotel with a great design. Great room and nice set up and furnishings. The insulation isn’t very good so you do get noise from the hallways and other rooms. They gave me a room by the elevator which added to the noise but wasn’t too bad at night. The area felt safe and upper class with good shopping nearby. No breakfast offered but the have a bar/cafe area to get food and drinks

PROPERTY IS NOT WELL MAINTAINED OR SECURED. VERY RUN DOWN FURNISHINGS AND SINKS AND SHOWER CLOGGED AND NO PRESSURE. THE LOBBY IS OVERTAKEN WITH LARGE GROUPS DRINKING AND PARTYING. I WOULD NOT RETURN TO THIS PROPERTY. WE LEFT AFTER FIRST NIGHT, AND STAYED AT ANOTHER HOTEL THAT WAS CLEAN AND QUIET.

This place is an absolute dump. Neither the photos nor the price point are indicators of the run down, barely maintained, outdated, dirty, and non-functional fixtures that are problematic for anyone who isn’t used to $60/night motels. Odds are you’ll need to park in the back of the hotel where the key reader is broken and the front desk staff just disappears late in the evening and won’t respond to the doorbell. Stepping out of the elevator, the smell of midlew permeates the hallways… and the indoor pool area that’s very distinctly missing any hint of chlorine despite being in a hot unventilated room. That’s some murky looking water. The floors were covered in loose crumbs and other people’s hair… no one bothers to vacuum or sweep the floors. Best of all is the shower…a single setting (water saving) handheld nozzle (literally since the mounted holder was broken) and absolutely no temperature control option. The faucet is either off or as hot as possible. Took 30 minutes to get hot water. Which was scalding hot. The AC kept powering off at random and the room was unbearable. Luckily ice was available in the igloo cooler they put in the lobby.. instead of working ice machines. I paid $200 a night for 2 nights and stayed for 6 hours of one of them. Place is awful.

Overall was good. Friendly staff and free breakfast. Comfortable and clean room in a safe and good area. The initial room after checking in was very smelly and disgusting. Staff helped and changed the room. Also, last night, there was an extremely loud (fire?) alarm in the middle of the night. People woke up and tried to get out of their rooms and go downstairs. Then the alarm stopped. It was a mess. Overall good, but had to share those two unfortunate events.
