Aside from the occasional waft of pot being smoked in close parameters of the building.mit has been a wonderful stay. The ambience of this particular property mirrors that of a boutique hotel similar to Hyatt House, A-loft, and Clarion brands.

Don’t Not Recommend

Hotel was absolutely disgusting, they had a great rating on the website but did not live up to the 8.0, the first room they tried to give me was run down and dirty, broken furniture and dirty. The second room had dried urine and semen on the bed. The front desk was unaccomendating and very nasty.

The property’s showing its age . We were in a non smoking room with many burn holes everywhere. I will say we had a problem with a light fixture that was resolved very quickly and professionally. My biggest concern was the bathtub had no rubber mat and the bottom was very slippery while taking a shower I had to stand on a washcloth so I wouldn’t fall!!

Stay Somewhere Else

This stay was a total disappointment. The lobby smelled like chicken boullion yet (even though promised) there was no food available for breakfast, lunch or dinner even though there was a kitchen in sight. And, on the morning we tried to get available coffee in the lobby....the carafes were empty. Total disappointment.

Definitely will not stay here again

Not good! The lobby stinks of stale food; the hallways have a bad smell though not as strong. The ice bucket in our room contained food waste from a previous guest. They don't make your bed or change towels unless you ask, but they don't tell you this (so we came back to soggy towels in the evening). There's two pillows per queen bed, and no extras, so too bad if you want two of your own. The toilet blocks very easily. The staff isn't friendly. And with all of this they have the audacity to charge you a $100 deposit!

Our room was not very clean. The carpet had stains and felt sticky. My socks were black after walking around (I forgot my slippers). There was a bracelet from the previous guest on the floor so I’m not sure it was vacuumed very well. The sheets, towels and bed coverings were very thin. I guess there isn’t daily housekeeping at the hotel because we were there 3 nights and our room was never cleaned, trash taken out or supplies replenished.
