Its really not that bad or good. My initial thought after checking in was this place sucks. The check in process is bizarre using a computer that gives you the room keys. But it doesn't work for half the people cause if you booked through Travelocity or similar sites you don't have the right # to check in. So you have to go to the office. The guy hastily looks up the # wrote it on postit and said this is your #. I can say he was rude but im use to hotel staff being more on the friendly side and maybe offering to be more helpful. But almost half the guests are bogged down by the check in system. The place a an odd colar scheme and it seems like walking around there are steps and ramps and odd floor plans that screem broken ankle. I walked into my room and thought ok this is simple but good. Clean. The bathroom was nice sized. The bathroom looked clean but smells of mildew. I had buy air fresheners. The breakfast option a not included small restaurant attached to the building is small very slow and under staffed. I went to buy breakfast and a line of 7 had the place shut down and maybe 2 people sitting and eating. I waited maybe 5 min and no one except the first person on line had even been spoken to. You almost never see staff. On the positive side its very walkable to the train, shopping,dining and the main strip. I would have had no problem with my room if the bathroom didn't smell funny. Its a economy hotel and it shows. But location is fine rooms are fine .
