Had the basic necessities and the bed was very comfortable! Some small issues — hand soap pump in my room was broken; the hair dryer died after the first day; the mini fridge freezes stuff — but overall I was still happy with my stay, and the staff were lovely!

The property needs an update and proper cleaning. The toilet seat did not fit the toilet. The bottom of the shower curtain was very dirty/moldy. The window in the bathroom did not close completely. The carpet was extremely dirty. Bed linens were clean. It is on a very loud road. We were at the very back of the property and still the noise from the road was very loud. Walking distance to Pearl street was a plus.

Found one dead and one live bug in my bed. Bathroom was remodeled but the rest of the room old and outdated. Staff offered to bring by extra bedding for pull out couch and never did. Coffee and tea options were poor. Coffee in reception was terrible, no sugar and told staff but they did nothing, no water for tea. Staff was nice but did not seem to care about customer service. Location was awesome however! And free convenient parking.

“Comfortable, Relaxing, and Hassle-Free”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My stay was amazing! I just needed a comfortable place to rest my head and spend some time visiting with my son, and this hotel was perfect. The room was clean, the atmosphere was relaxing, and I had a great day overall. No complaints at all, I truly loved it!

Too expensive for what you get!

Hotel is very run down especially on the outside. The bathroom was updated, the bed comfy but very basic room. The smoke detector was missing, just the wires were left hanging from the wall! Would have been ok if the price had not been this much! It was more expensive than the Moxy that is newer and nicer! Wished I had booked another hotel for this price.
