The temperature was too hot and the air conditioning was broken. Paint in the tub and shower was cracked and peeling. No overhead lights and the lamps were dim. I will never stay there again.

It was a basic hotel room, I'm wouldn't take a shower/ bath because there was a huge cracking and removal of the coating of the inside of the tub. It didn't look sanitary and looked kinda rusty. Iwish I'd taken a picture. The beds were hard and the balcony door said it only opened 4 inches for safety, but it opened all the way. Service was great, very friendly and inviting. But the room left us with something else to be desired.

Requires multiple repairs around and inside the property especially the rooms. Ceiling tiles were missing, the slider door was broken, with the toilet and bathroom with debris and blue stains almost like the comet cleaner was left there for days.

Decent location, under renovation

Its an old hotel currently under renovation so the rooms are pretty outdated and worn. Not the best neighborhood at night but during the day its fine. Right across from small park and original Capitol location. Short walk to a few cute shops and the water. No fast food anywhere in the little downtown which we loved. Uber is quick to deliver there and the capital building is super close. Check with staff about cooling system updates before booking in the summer. Our room was 75 degrees in February and wouldn't cool so we had to leave the balcony door open. In the summer that wouldn't work.

I booked this hotel online. It was in a somewhat convenient location for my work. It is a downtown, multi-story old, poorly maintained in a bad area. The only parking was in the rear and that was a large, old asphalt lot adjacent to what looked like industrial businesses. The room was in a corner. The desk lamp was missing a light bulb, there were only two hangers and the towels were thin and of poor quality. I asked the clerk to change my room and she refused. Avoid this place.

I had to change room immediately because the first room was an accessible room was in the worst shape, with broken door, drawers, the height of the clothes rack was too low, and the room smelled. the second room its bathroom had some material on the door; the shower curtain was torn, the door wouldn't shut. I wasn't told that it was on a green housekeeping so the room wasn't even tidied in my 3 night stay.
