I would not likely stay here again. This hotel is not a 3-star hotel. The check-in was strange. The person checking me in gave very little information that one needs when checking in, specifically about parking. This hotel is in a not-so-safe neighborhood. I travel for business & was told by staff that their parking areas, including the gated underground lot, is not safe as they have a problem with car break-ins. Therefore I had to unload my car, which was full of product for a trade show, and take numerous trips with heavy boxes up to my room late at night. The luggage cart was old & had flat tires.Then reload to leave the next day for set-up at the show. The front desk often didn't have anyone attending it. Therefore anyone off the street could walk in unnoticed & go anywhere in the hotel, including up the elevator or stairs to guest rooms, making no safer than a motel. The hallways have numerous missing baseboards & large sections of peeling wall paper. The carpet in the room had buckling sections at the threshold joining the room and bathroom. It had multiple stains on it throughout the room. The room had a strange odor, so I left the window open to avoid smelling it, which was less than ideal as it is winter & very cold. The bed was hard & not comfortable at all. It also had a sheet, thin blanket & coverlet, which was as thin as a sheet. I wish I had a comforter to keep warm. There were some nice employees. breakfast was decent. Coffee was horrible, with grounds
