Lobby was nice. Front desk staff was nice. Got to our room and it was disgusting. Very dirty. No A/C. Top blankets on bed looked like they had never been washed. Elevator was sketchy too. Did not feel safe in the room. Went back down to lobby and canceled our week stay. We got all but one night refunded but we checked out and didn't stay there.

Had a great stay here. The room was clean, comfortable, and well taken care of, and the staff was friendly and helpful throughout our visit. The location was convenient and made getting around really easy. Everything felt smooth and stress-free, which is exactly what you want when staying at a hotel. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

Hotel keys weren’t working had to get 4 different pairs from front desk. Shower head worked horribly and only had a small curtain to block water. Requested for a fridge and they gave us one that was dirty af legit had residue all over the bottom. Walls are also super thin so you can hear everything…and I mean everything. Only good experience I had was with house keeping that were always happy to help us open our room because our room keys never worked.
Place was full of stains like this only picture I have I took videos instead but can’t upload

I left after being there for 1 hour. There was bloodstains all over the carpet and screaming and yelling. The sketchiest and dirtiest hotel I have ever been to. did not offer any refunds for the biohazards in my room, and to top it off my deadbolt on my door didn’t work. As a women staying alone this is unacceptable and unsafe.

This was an appalling experience to say the least. To begin, this is in a terrible area riddled with crime and drug use across the streets. Secondly, the elevator is archaic, slow, and tiny. The worst part, though, was the room. It was filthy, with stains on the drapes and shower floor. And the bed sheets made us itchy all night---so much so that we had to use our own towels and clothes as blankets to minimize the itch. I called the front desk multiple times at 11 PM, and nobody answered. Spare yourselves the trouble and listen to the reviews. I made a mistake and trusted their endless replies about improving the place and taking customer feedback seriously. It is not worth your health, sanity, or money.

Everything was clean, functional; staff was polite and helpful. Excellent location for downtown. Good value for one or two evenings. The hotel itself could be a little old if you're aiming for fancy.
