Not what we were hoping for

Young lady at check in was great in explaining everything and making check in very smooth. Unfortunately when we got to our assigned room it was still being cleaned at 10pm. We were ready for bed. We waited in the food area on the first floor after letting her know the situation and how after booking the room at least a month in advance and calling ahead the same day we did not expect to have to wait for our room at 10pm. After telling us there were no more rooms she came back to say she had a cancellation and we could have another room. The room was just ok. We had to ask for an extra blanket as the one thin one on the bed was not going to be enough when the thermostat had been set to 68 degrees. We also had no light in our shower.

Visit this area 6 plus times a year. The carpet was wet from the refrigerator not closing. The water faucet didn’t fit the sink and when you turned it on it ran all over the sink top. Needs some major upgrades. Staff was just there.

The room was dirty including the walls. The bathroom had minimal lighting. The shower stall didn’t close all the way causing water to get all over the floor and there was some sort of putty in the bottom of the shower. Do not recommend staying here.

Will work if you’re in a pinch

Definitely not worth the money. For $200 I am not sure what I really paid for. The halls and the rooms have a weird smell to them. The pillows were small square old pillows that were not comfortable at all, and took four of them just to Cover the top part of the bed. The carpet was gross with stains and when you stepped on it barefooted it almost felt sticky. I kept my shoes on the entire time. The shower had obvious hair on the wall, the bathroom outlets were so stripped you could not put in your hairdryer or flat iron. The hotel, breakfast consisted of bagels, waffles, or frozen sausage corndogs, or fruit. Overall, this hotel needs a complete makeover in order to charge the prices that they do.

There was mold in the ice machine, which ended up in my container and cooler. Slamming of doors all night, made it hard to sleep. The AC was out for a night. Carpet and bathroom were smelly and bathroom fan was full of dust/dirt. Wifi quality was poor. If you are looking for a cheap hotel, choose another option if you want to rest and pay a little more.

The seat on the toilet was loose and shifted almost causing one to fall. Disgusting shower full of mold. Toilet flushed super loud. Checked in early evening and had to be somewhere so we didn’t get back in room till later. Too exhausted to complain as we had to leave for airport at 5 am. Staff was nice rest of what we saw was ok but the bathroom in our room was absolutely disgusting( did not use shower).

Okay for the price

We booked connecting rooms for our weekend stay. Check in was a breeze. However, we got to our rooms and there was a very unpleasant odor. We figured the rooms had been closed and unused for a couple days. We spent the majority of the day outside of the room. The next morning we let management know and they moved our rooms. We did not get connecting rooms once they moved us. The new rooms were definitely better but overall not great. The rooms have carpet which seems to contribute to the smell. There were obvious places where the hotel house keeping do not clean very well, if at all. The vents to the ac had lint and dirt build up. There was dust on the door ledges, mold on the pocket door, stains in the carpets, etc. The towels had a slighlty sticky film on them. The hotle is a 2 star and on the cheaper end, and you get what you pay for. Lesson learned. There are so many great food options close by, as well as shopping. It is also very close to the River district and a short drive to the beaches. The front desk was very pleasant but we will probably not stay here in the future. The hotel could definitely use some cleaning up and modernizing.
