Nice place

The parking is confusing but other than that it’s a pretty hotel. The front desk runs the ac in your room so be advised, our room was really hot so we had to switch to another room.

Floors in room were falling apart, pillows on the floor, floorboards were loose and seeping water (maybe)? Shower wouldn’t turn off, toilet ran. Area did not seem safe. Was definitely not as nice as indigo hotels I’ve been to before. Staff was friendly, helpful, but facility was sub-par at best.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!! To be a rather higher scale side of town this should have been a much better property. Especially considering the price per night! I expected a lot more. Elevators don’t work half of the time, rooms are half way clean, broken furniture, water pressure is terrible! Wish I had not spent the money

nice hotel

The hotel is located downtown so it’s pretty convenient to things. The parking situation is not great. Check in went smoothly. I think it’s weird that the A/C in each room is controlled by the front desk, so you have to call them if you want it changed. But, everything was clean. The bed and pillows were comfortable.
