Found an open package of men’s hair treatment under the bench in the room. Homeless people fighting in the parking lot. Altogether, the hotel was pretty clean though, staff was really nice, and it was very close to downtown

I arrived at the hotel at 7:00pm after driving all afternoon. There was a lobby full of people. The rooms were not ready. (check in was supposed to be at 3 PM.) I waited almost 2 hours in the lobby for my room and then when I finally was able to get a room, it was not the king-size bed that I had reserved. It was two doubles. Also, the breakfast area, where the continental breakfast is, still had not been cleaned from the morning. There was food still in the trays!! (and by this time it is 9:00 at night!) The waffle irons were covered in batter stuff all over the counters tables were not wiped.

Check-In staff were all excellent; very friendly and personable. Lobby area was clean and presentable. My room was very clean and comfortable. Housekeeping was attentive and friendly. My only negative was the condition of the elevator. It functions, but could use a refresh. I was somewhat disappointed that the continental breakfast was moved to the neighboring hotel. The other time I stayed here the breakfast was in this hotel and it was much nicer than next door. Not a big deal. I really like the location as I can walk to restaurants downtown. I would recommend this hotel to friends (but I would warn them about the elevator lol).

Stay away

The bathroom door wouldn’t close, they were renovating an elevator and the other elevator was awful. The vending machines didn’t work so we couldn’t get any drinking water. The ice machine didn’t work. The breakfast that we were supposed to have access to at the hotel next door was completely void of food an hour before it was supposed to be over. The staff seemed friendly enough, but the hotel should be closed until the renovations are complete. And on more than just the elevator.
This is the “good” elevator
We took the stairs. This was just scary.

The first room I got the fire alarm in the room was chirping and just needed a battery. I asked and she moved me to a different room. The next room, the toilet didn’t work and wouldn’t flush. The best part was the bed and it being comfortable or I was just tired and any bed would have done the job.
