Our room was extremely dated and dirty. The AC vent was covered in dust and the box spring and fabric platform bed was heavily stained. Staff was very nice but the rooms need a major overhaul. For the price it is definitely not worth the money.

Sherri

Traveled with partner
Disliked: Amenities
The room was so poorly planned that you couldn’t open the closet doors and walk between them and the bed. The two of us were talking turns on who got to move around the room: the other person had to sit or be in bed. There was hair in the shower from the previous guest and stains on the cloth bed board that unfortunately led you to wonder what they came from. There is only instant coffee in the room and paper cups, which they took during a mid stay spiffing and did not replace. The staff was fine, the towels nice, and the shower had plenty of hot water. I would not recommend this place, however. A cheaper hotel on the interstate would have been more comfortable and more generous.

Several amenities in our room were not at the level I’ve come to expect of the graduate brand / a sink that wouldn’t drain, a tv without access to streaming service, a broken bathroom lock. Stay was just ok, below standard of other properties we stayed in this trip

Cool decor

Cool place, strong smell in the lobby that made us book it out of there quickly. Parking was unexpected too, luckily we were able to find free overnight street parking and just woke up early to move it. Cool place though, definitely unique. The bar was sad though and we didn’t go in.
