Parking across the street with no defined sidewalk and having to cross a street and walk around a chain fence was an inconvenience. Had there been inclement weather it would have been much worse. For the price of the room at least offer a valet.

Do not recommend

They don’t clean room unless asked. Took two days to get a burned out light changed. The phone had no cord so it couldn’t be used to call the front desk. The tv only got one channel. It took two days to get that fixed as well.

Great cheap stay!!

Check in was quick and efficient. She informed us that housekeeping was not automatic and that we needed to request services each day. We simply requested it each morning and the girls did a wonderful job cleaning our room, making beds, and restocking towels. The hotel was quiet and we felt safe. It was a quick walk across the street to the Conference Center. The Flatiron Tavern located next door was a hidden gem with great service and food.
