Didnt end up staying. When I arrived at 11:30pm, person tried to get into the car, even with it running and me inside. I noticed two others wandering around the parked cars looking in them. So i left immediately.

Paying more for a suite and the door didn't lock. By accident, I noticed you can get in without using the key card. Even if the lock inside is turned, it could still be opened. After going to the front desk and it being explained that the locks are old and you need to really pull on it and/or turn the inside lock really slowly, the logic I purposed was in order to know if it was securely locked, I would need to be outside. After a few offerings of how to lock their old, broken locks, I was moved to a different room that the bathroom smelled terrible (sewage smell). Using my own Lysol and running the water in the shower for a bit, it was better. The new room's lock needed the key card several times. It would turn green, but the mechanism wouldn't catch. One time it took too many tries, so the cards stopped working. I had to go down and get them redone and explained how the lock doesn't catch, and like the other lock that didn't work, this was because of the old locks too and just an acknowledging nod. For whatever rooms that the locks don't work, they will have visitors thinking their doors are locked without testing it from the outside and they stay not knowing. Explaining how to lock it afterward, if that even works, leaves a lot of people with the illusion of a safe locked door that is not locked at all. The area is not safe and walking out by the wall, there are many, many homeless people and hypodermic needles strewn in the dirt right outside the wall.

Room is clean, staff is nice. Young lady that checked us in wasn't super friendly. But it was late night, she was alone, and looked really young (I don't know- it was a long drive I was tired). Everyone else was very nice and pleasant. Had a problem with the hot water which was resolved quickly. I would stay again.

Very tasty renovation and reincarnation of an older, previously run - down property. Excellent execution, rooms are comfortable, not ostentatious, with upper-end quality finishes and gorgeous retro designer styling in each room. And the beds are amazing! Can't wait for the new activities building and swim club to be completed! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Located not to far away from downtown. The bike path is close by. The hotel was made over from a motel, with contemporary interior design. It's clean and cozy. The manager is very friendly and helpful.

Check-in was probably the most difficult just because they send you a pre-check-in asking for documentation and an uploaded picture of the front and back of your ID to "make check-in easier". Needless to say, pre-check was a load of crap and they still needed to make a copy of my ID. If they're going to offer something like this as a service, it better damn well work. In this case, it obviously does not. Aside from that, the room was very clean, obviously newly remodeled and it was comfortable. Some things to note, Alice Hotel, the TV in our room had a massive scratch across the front of the screen that was pretty pronounced whenever the screen was dark while watching any shows on TV. Secondly, the water pressure in the showers is really poor, like very poor, but at least I was able to wash myself. Lastly, the light switch for the vanity, near the bathroom, was faulty. It would not stay in the "On" position unless you wedge something into the switch itself. None of these issues were terrible or unbearable, but they're issues I don't expect to deal with during my stay. Regardless, it's a great little MOTEL (doors for the rooms are on the outside next to the parking lot) and I'd stay here again. I just hope they streamline the check-in process, that was BS.

Was off a one- way street, so if you're not familiar-- you can miss the hotel drive-way entrance. Lobby is quaint and little. Staff was polite, patient (as I'm handicap), and accommodating. Rooms are thankfully non-smoking, so they smell clean. Only one trash can and minimal handle bars in bathroom. Found the bed to be very comfortable. And the TV was huge, Jerry.😁 A/C worked great. Black out blinds on windows, and noise reduction was great probably because of the brick wall in room. I would return again though and recommend to others if you're into clean and minimal amenities. (Sorry, no breakfast, but there's a great restaurant across the street.)🙂👍
