Toilet wouldn’t flush, shower wouldn’t drain, valet was incredibly slow, front desk wasn’t very nice. The best part of the stay was the coffee shop and their employees.

"Place wasn’t bad for what it was. It’s an older hotel. Good price and nice enough. My room smelled like a smokers room though. I just dealt with it but it definitely was strong when I first got to the room."
