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!

I liked the staff. But the breakfast was skimpy; no potatoes; and the smell of the kitchen sometimes reached the elevator. A wonderful Italian restaurant in an old former residence is a short walk from this place.
