Many of the facilities are needing some repair - e.g. bath tub stopper does not work, broken gym equipment, elevators that are worked 60% of the time etc. So lots to be improved. But that staff were super friendly, efficient and cleaned brilliantly. The hotel is next to a club - so weekend club music in your room is a real thing.

As soon as we opened the door, there was an unpleasant smell and we opened the window for a while, but not sure if it was helpful. The bathtub was also not clean with visible mold, and it was clogged so it drained very slowly, but we didn't call the front desk. We didn't take a shower because it was late at night. The next day, we just rushed out of the hotel, telling the staff about the condition of our room, and heard that the manager would contact me, but so far, nothing. I don't recommend this place if you are planning to stay with kids because there were a lot of homeless people nearby.

Very welcoming staff. Relaxing atmosphere. Comfortable beds, couch.. Bathroom a little tight. Had to shimmy around toilet to close door. Bathtub/shower nice size. I’m handicapped and welcomed large handrail in tub. On way in- one of the staff (seeing my walker) even asked if I wanted a shower chair? Delivered to room. All in all left relaxed and smile on face.

The staff is very helpful and professional. The communication via text messages is very effective and helpful. Regrettably, the construction on Johnson street, right in front of our window, caused a lot of noise as early as 7am.

The hotel and staff were very good, friendly and helpful. I appreciated the laundry facilities in the hotel, and the restaurant there Ruby’s was tasty with big portions. Walking around at night felt a bit sketchy but was okay for limited periods. Public parking lot nearby on Johnson was reasonable and available.

Just to be aware, as with the case of any big city, unfortunately there were homeless people sleeping in the street nearby and walking around during the day. The hotel had ample security and we felt safe for the short time we stayed.

The hotel is old and in poor condition. The A/C units are probably from the 90s and make a horrible rattle, which means they are not useable at night. The toilet also wouldn't stop running which was quite annoying.
