It was right down town and convenient to walk to a lot of places. A beautiful park across the street. Unfortunately it was full of homeless people. The hotel needs to be updated and refreshed. Bed was comfortable. Staff were nice and friendly.

Great hotel. The bed was super comfortable and the room was nice overall. The AC wasn’t working, but there were fans provided and sliding doors that opened fully. The room was a little run down, but for the most part, it was good. It also included a nice free breakfast with light refreshments, cereal, pastries, and bagels. I would stay again.

One of the worst places I have ever stayed. The furniture was frayed, the tub itself had holes, the place was a wreck. Staff told me they had no ac in August but upon departure multiple floors did have ac. Do not go here!
