It was listed as a hotel but it was a motel. We had to carry our luggage up two flights of stairs because of construction. There was mould on the wall behind the toilet. The traffic noise was terrible coming through the gaps around the door and through the windows and the walls. The concrete walkway to our room was not level.

Eh, a place to sleep.

Last minute booking- not my first choice by any means. VERY old hotel, zero amenities, horrible towels. Conveniently located near everything we wanted to do but would never stay here again.

We are so unhappy about this place. We had traveled from Texas so we were to exhausted to cause a fuss. But i did let the guy know that the floors were nasty, mind you it was not carpet. I told the guy it needed to be swept and moped. He looks at me as if i sooke another language. So i repeatedly saod the floor needs to be moppes i have 2 small children. He said ok and left. He comes back with a bath mat. Again i said no the floor is dirty! He then says oh, um i dont have a mop and the maids arent here. (Hand on face) he said i can have them mop tomorrow. We shower and proceed to go to a graduation. Both my kids and my feet were dirty from walking on the floor. Im already heated. I go down to tell them again , before we leave. To come back to it still not clean. We couldn't leave caise we had 2 more days paid for. Here is the better not so better ending. The remote and my babies pacie fall behind the bed. My husband's moves the bed to find a ball gage. Now im supper pissed. Yes i went and to look for the manager, to where they were nowhere to befound. So the next morning i went about 6 or 7 am because it was time tp leave. AGAIN stoll no one to be found, i had to call the emergency nunber tjat was left in the night window. He come like 15 mins later. When i told him what we found. He immediately try to offer another night or free points. To which i wasnt given the full as promised. I told him he needed to retrain his ladies to clean better.

Nice stay

The room was great. It was comfortable. It was very clean. Very nice. We forgot to ask about a floor room on the app making the reservation, but when we asked at the front desk, there was not a problem at all. He said absolutely and gave us a bottom floor. He was very nice.

I really like the layout of the room and the cool lighting. The staff was super friendly. But unfortunately the place was a little disappointing. The TV's remote didnt fully work. We were unable to get the HDMI comnected and then the tvs quality decreased make it extremely hard to watch the TV. Stayed friday to Saturday and was woken up at 730am/8am due to the construction happening. I wish i had at least made known when i checked in that there would be LOUD construction happening outside.

The room was quite dirty when we arrived. Dirt and crumbs all over the floor, and even a dirty rag left on the floor. I immediately went to the front desk and they guy came and looked and said because our bags were in the room, we had “used the room” and he couldn’t do anything at all. No moving rooms, no discount, but didn’t even offer for it to be cleaned! Left the dirty rag, all the crumbs, and basically told us off. Then, they started doing construction outside our room at 7:30am. No warning that any construction would be taking place. Worst stay ever.

A for effort-worked with what they’ve got-friendly

The service was very friendly. The condition of the hotel was old but they did try as far as effort in making it nice. It smelled old and the outside and environment was pretty run down. I don’t want to be fully negative though because there was definitely an effort made inside the room and it was clean overall as far as the linens and housekeeping. The neighborhood for sure had a definite sketchy feel for example lots of people just outside and wandering, caged in and broken bending machines etc. I was only there by myself on business so it was a place to sleep for me and that was what I needed. Would I want to bring my wife and kids? No. But if you want an affordable room that’s midpoint this is a decent choice.
