Nice location but facilities are a bit dated. Parking is extra $30 + tax per day. Declined for an early check-in as "the hotel was fully booked the previous night". When we came back after 4:30pm, there was a line-up of 6-7 ppl and it took well over 10 minutes to get . The room was fairly clean but no toilet paper in the bathroom.

I realize it is probably a daily job but balconies need to be cleaned/ swept They were filled with both alive & dead bugs, flies and cobwebs. My suggestion is to be cleaned and sprayed prior to the customers arrival…

View from room was supposed to be “river view”, however, very misleading. The view was of a partial river view but mainly a parking lot and old unused pool. Balcony was extremely dirty, bugs and spider webs surrounded the railing and screen door, which was not properly cut to size. Cleaning crew were consistently in hallway at every hour of the day, multiple at a time. Hallways were filthy and not vacuumed.

Pros: location, clean and updated lobby (albeit small), clean and updated rooms, ample counter space in bathroom, good hotel amenities, beds and pillows are comfortable Cons: exterior of building needs a facelift, carpeting in hallways is filthy, paid parking, non-HD tv, poor water pressure in shower, faucet in bathroom is affixed too far back from sink making it difficult to wash hands, a/c in rooms is very noisy.
