We loved our stay here. Rooms are dated, but clean. Breakfast was wonderful and location is great - it is just a little sketchy walking down to 6th street. Not the hotel's fault

Quick 1night stay before next day airplane flight

Feel that the description of the hotel and property should say PAY parking OPTIONAL in basement garage. My daughter thought that pay parking was a little misleading and she read it as being paid parking included. The front desk was very helpful and the room was very clean and big. Close to 6th Street bars and some close restaurants. I question the Mexican restaurant close by though. Basement is somewhat creepy

The hotel was good and clean, good options for breakfast, the times are incorrect based on the email I received vs actual times by hotel staff. I did not read the part about parking fees on property until I got there but be ready if you’re driving, fee was about 40 dollars after taxes, I feel it should be discounted since is property but I cost me full price. There is a lot of places to drink at if you like that, a lot of homeless too but did not bother anyone while walking.

Comfortable clean very good breakfast and kind staff, however no one was clear on the parking situation and the prices even of the areas surrounding the hotel. There were no usb charging ports in any of the fixtures in the room so I had to buy a port for the wall that was annoying, the grab and go snack area had low stock of items and nothing was priced. The tv also was not updated with a guide or smart tv port to access other streaming services. And lastly my toilet seat was not attached and could not be fixed I just held on lol.

Everything was good but the toilet in our room was leaking so I shut the water line off. My wife spoke with the lady at the front counter she just told her the maintenance would come early morning. They never showed. I spoke again with another staff member in the morning and maintenance showed up and just asked us not to use it anymore.Spent the whole stay without a functional Toilet.
