Hotel should have been closed. Elevator was not working. Room did not have a fire alarm. There was exposed wiring where the alarm should have been. Carpet in hall was not fully installed with bare floors at the doorways. As others have said in reviews here, the beds were filthy! The towels were just paper thin, stained, and rough. There was no toilet paper holder in the bathroom. Expedia should be ashamed of hosting this hotel on their site, much less allowing a 3 star rating. I do t know how others could have ever given this hotel a good review, they had to have been blind or have never stayed in a clean hotel before.

Great Boutique Hotel in the medical district

Quaint boutique hotel in the medical district. Interior is funky and unique and the exterior of the building has gorgeous murals painted on it. Staff was friendly and accommodating. This hotel also offers free Ubers to medical appointments for elderly guests in need of travel accommodations. Though I was staying at the site while in town for a concert, it was clear this guest is a very solid and hospitable choice for those in town visiting the medical centers.
