I wish I could give 0 starts

In its entirety, this was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. It began with a front desk error: I received a call claiming they hadn’t charged the incidental fee, go down, upon checking, I discovered they had actually double-charged the room rate. The staff couldn’t figure out how to fix it and told me to go about my day while they sorted it out. Instead, I was woken up at 10 PM with another call same issue, forcing me to get dressed and go downstairs to resolve it. The next day, our room keys stopped working after just 24 hours. Another trip to the front desk. Then we returned to an unserviced room — no fresh towels, no cleaning — which meant yet another visit to the front desk just to get towels. After a nice night out, we returned to find multiple smears of fecal matter directly in front of our door — three large ones and several smaller ones. The stench was overwhelming and absolutely revolting. We asked to be moved to a new room. Despite multiple booking sites showing availability, the front desk insisted there were no rooms available. Corporate was no help either, telling us to contact Hotels.com. Hotels.com is still working on the issue, but we couldn’t wait to leave. The cleaning crew spent an hour outside our room with industrial vacuums and solvents. By morning, the major stains were gone, but smaller ones down the hall remained visible. Failure on every level, customer service, cleanliness, professionalism, and basic hospitality. Never again.

We enjoyed the location and walkability of the area. When we checked in it was evident the bathtub had not been cleaned. The front desk receptionist offered to move us but when she checked there were no available rooms. The ladies at the front desk were very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately though our room, specifically the bathroom, was not up to standard.

There is no parking at this hotel however, they offer valet for $29 a night +7 dollars for SUV. Or truck. Which is a terrible. You can use the city meters for parking and it’s three dollars an hour from 6 PM to 9 AM. It is free. We were fortunate to find a city meter right in front of the hotel that we pulled into check in. We ended up staying in that spot and only cost us $15 to park with the city meter. The hotel location is excellent for walking tons of shops and restaurants within them blocks. Great continental breakfast. Clean hotel and friendly staff.
