The body lotion left in bathroom was used. The property needed cleaning and carpet repaired. The $438 cost per night was extremely high for what I would say is a 2 star hotel. Loud neighbors and water pipes in the walls.

Not worth what I paid. Rooms were clean and spacious and beds were comfortable, however the breakfast buffet was less than average to poor (in the case of the hot food) and the entire hotel had an unappealing odor.

The staff were great and accommodating . The over all price was ok. The things not so great: the halls and elevator has a dingy smell which also was present in our room. The place is just out dated and really needs TLC. The beds were small for our room. The ice machine in our fridge did not work. Low shower pressure.

The room was surprisingly large and well appointed. I was confused that I had to pre arrange having the towels changed and the bed remade. The staff was excellent, very professional and knowledgeable- the cookie at Insomnia Cookie was delicious.

The ice maker did not work in our unit. We reported it but it was never resolved. We had to go buy ice. Other than that the stay was okay.

Fine for a quick, inexpensive weekend.

The room was nice. I had a very large room. The bed and sheets were comfortable. Television and channels were good. Bathroom was clean and had enough toiletries for my stay. My only issue is that the hotel and my room smelled of cigarette and marijuana smoke. Price was good.

AC did not really work. It was only mid 70s and the AC never dropped the temp in the room both days we were there. The carpet was stained and had junk in areas. First 15 minutes in the room I killed 2 cockroaches in the bathroom. The lady’s at the desk were super nice though!
