Nice room and hotel,although paid extra for view on main street and it was very noisy and we were on 5th flr. Also,wasn't happy had to enter shower next to toilet instead of door opening on right side by wall. Clearly it was installed backwards and we had to squeeze past toilet to get in and out. Good thing we are average sized people. We weren't reminded at check-in of free breakfast and spent money every morning at their coffee cafe. If you visit and want to sleep in,get a room in back otherwise nice.

The hard product here, the room itself, is actually pretty nice. The hotel was recently renovated, and it shows in the room. The lobby area is large, but could use some work. The real issues are the service. The hotel bugs you endlessly before check in to fill in an online pre-check. When I got to check in, the hotel staff completely ignored this. When I pointed this out to the hotel staff, I received a rude response. The one service request I made, for more pillows, was not made the first time. The hotel tries to nickel and dime you for any late or early check-in check out. The gym could seriously use some work. There was only one working treadmill, one of the exercise balls was broken, and the space is very small.

We assumed our room would be cleaned. Met staff in hallway who spoke little English but communicated our need for towels and coffee for the next morning. This was mid-afternoon. Came back after dinner and found our beds made. Odd to only have one wastebasket in bathroom. None in living area. Missed having a fridge; used a lot of ice to keep leftovers cool. Beds were comfortable; room clean. I’ve stayed here before and wanted my friend to experience the hotel and area.

I was impressed by how pretty the main floor was. Check-in was smooth. Good bed. The room was shabby. Chipped/peeling paint in the room, the laminate floors were cracked and peeling up. There was a splatter stain on the floor next to my bed. The bottoms of the doors looked like animals had been chewing on them. Just a lot of details that could be easily fixed, but have not been taken care of, which gave an overall worn out and low end look to the room. In the bathroom, the only trashcan in the room was tiny and covered in rust. The fan over the shower was disgusting, full of dirt and the tub did not drain so when showering there was water to my ankles. The outside of the tub was discolored. The hairdryer was so old, super scratched up, and I knew immediately it was going to break while I was using it. I have long hair and although I took breaks the outlet stopped working, and the reset button would not work. This is likely due to the fact that the dryer was filthy, full of lint which led to overheating. I don’t understand why the hotel would not keep up with minor maintenance that would make a big difference. I did not feel safe in dimly lit hallways as I was solo. The elevators are slow and stopped working one day so guests had to use the service elevator waiting next to a shelf of leftover food. Not what I expected.
