The staff locked the doors at 10 AM so I had to use my key just to get in to go to my room to finish loading my vehicle. She said she did it for safety. nothing exceptional - not worth the money - and NOTHING to drink for breakfast other than coffee, no juice no milk no water!!!!

The room was nice. View was not nice as it was to an empty lot that was not clean. The elevators were quite frightening as they moved and bounced a lot more than normal. The staff was great and very helpful. Area was decent, close to attractions and Beal streets

Economically priced, safe hotel

Arriving to the hotel was kind of a surprise. We did not expect a razor wire fence around the lot (not typical where I’m from), but after some time there, it was appreciated. The building is not pretty on the outside, but the location was convenient for us, the staff were very friendly and the room was nice and clean. There are a lot of homeless in the area, just something to be aware of. None bothered us at the hotel though. The breakfast left much to be desired, we went to nearby cafes and coffee shops to get some decent food instead. It’s a great place to stay if you’re looking for something reasonably priced near the local hospitals or downtown area, and don’t mind the other things I mentioned above.

Um, cleaner would be better

Non-smoking hotel, which is fine as we do t smoke. Get to our room and the bathroom smelled STRONGLY of cigarettes. The smoke detector appeared to be working but was dangling from a wire several inches below the ceiling, not flush. And there was a large dead bug on the carpeted floor.

Great room for the price. Breakfast was pretty good (just need gravy for the biscuits in the future lol). The room we had was 2 queens. The sheets were nice, bed was comfortable, and 4 pillows felt amazing. I had been using holiday inn, but gen x is probably my new go to!
