Did not get a chance to interact with the staff due to a very late check in/arrival, but they did reach out before hand with clear instructions on getting in the building and into the room. Overall good stay. Traveled with family (small children). The room was nice but you could tell a few things needed to be fixed - broken cabinet, crooked TV stand, broken blinds, etc. Room was clean and pleasantly decorated. Would definitely stay again!

The location of the property was excellent. The worst part about room 213 were the beds they were terrible. They need to be replaced. They all sag into the middle. The bathrooms have cobwebs in them. The air conditioning was loud. I also noticed the certificate of inspection for the elevator was expired.

The location is great. The bar across the street is loud at closing. Close to everything. Beds were average. This particular unit was very run down. Worn carpet, peeling “ leather” furniture, scratched table, lamp without a lamp shade. Really just stayed for the location

Location. Location. Location.

The location is supreme. Right in the heart of everything. Loading and navigating luggage is difficult. Parking is inconvenient. Breakfast is minimalistic. The staff worked hard to compensate. In our room (double beds), one bed was sunken in the middle for some reason. The room was cheerful with nice views.
