For the price, it was only basic. No fridge no cooktop just a microwave and a coffee pot on top of the desk and then there was only a 30 inch TV in a room you paid $200 a day for.

The staff were very nice, my room was clean however the carpet smelled really bad and my Internet kept going out so I was not able to watch television when I couldn’t go to sleep. The staff at the bar were new and not bartenders, so they didn’t know how to make drinks; I asked them to Google it. The property needs to be refurbished. The carpet is dirty, The walls are dirty and the elevator doors need to be replaced on the inside. They’re really really stained. For my inconvenience of not having Internet, I was given two free meals at the bistro.

Clean

Clean place to stay. Bathrooms need to be updated (tub) hallways are super hot (June) but staff is friendly. We had room 304, so corner with a king. Tight fit and no luggage racks. Not much of a walk to eat or get to the waterfront. Chrysler Museum is a little over a 20 minute walk.

Very friendly staff! Easy check-in. Good, central, walkable location for exploring downtown. Tons of scooters nearby as well to get around town. Easy walk to Waterside restaurants. The hotel needs some love; there is a lot of deferred maintenance especially in the pool area (hot tub was out of order and pool needs resealing. Drains around the pool deck were completely clogged and not draining so there was a lot of standing water), the bathroom inside our room needed some TLC. Shower handle barely worked and I was afraid to turn it out of fear of breaking it. The key cards only worked maybe half the time. Our room smelled musty.

The staff is super cool and welcoming but the condition of the room is what lead me to my scores here...the couch had a huge stain, there were a pair of used socks in the bed when we pulled the covers back and the fixtures in the room a bit worn out. Upgrades are definitely in order here!
