The rooms were not the cleanest and there was plenty of wear and tear around the building that had not been addressed. The continental breakfast was not that great. The beds were very comfortable and its location was right in the area I needed to be in. Also close to many dinning options and shopping

Our shower would not drain, my husband took a shower in standing water. We call the front desk, someone came up and used a drain snake and pulled out a huge chunk of hair. After using the snake, did not clean the shower and the shower was dirty.

It was fine. The elevator sounds like it’s about to break. The room was okay. The bed was comfortable & the bathroom was clean. The breakfast was not very good, which was disappointing for the price we had to pay for one night. If we needed to be in the same area in the future we’ll probably just pay the extra money to another hotel nearby.
