Full price for a property under full renovation. Staff were wonderful as always but they should be telling customers that the property is super filthy and noisy, with dozens of workers on site

Overall good clean property with excellent super king size bed and complimentary coffee machine. Room was clean , roomy and tidy, was cold so hotel provided heater but the blanket provided very poor and smelled badly. The property is near bars and clubs so will get noise , and from bikers but ear plugs no problem. Overall good experience.

Front desk at check-in said my room was upgraded (Expedia VIP perk) but it was not upgraded. It was the room I booked/paid for. One reason I chose the hotel was that it is an Expedia VIP hotel with free room upgrades when available. The guy didn’t even check. The hotel is showing its age. For example the plumbing leaves a little to be desired. Also the hallways were not particularly clean. For the price I was not satisfied with this hotel.

Comfortable stay, great location

Was a good stay and good value. Staff was great and the lobby was lovely. Great location with lots of services and all sorts of restaurants within walking distance. The area felt fairly safe and building was secure. Parking is covered and not secured, but very well lit. Property is under needed renovations - room a bit dated with paint peeling in the bathroom, but was very clean and comfortable.
