The hotel was clean however, for being a smoke free place I smelled the smoke as soon as I walked into my room. Walls are very thin so you can hear everything from the elevator ding to people walking in the hallway. But good location and affordable.

Breakfast was minimal, no hot food so we went out to eat. Zero amenities, no cups for water, no ice bucket, no ice machine, no drawers, just shelves. Plenty of space in the room which made it look empty. We chose it for the location but would probably look elsewhere next time we go.

This isn't a 3-star hotel, I'll definitely say that. Good for what it is, but should be marketed as a 2-star. Housekeeping will pound on your door and open it even if the "do not disturb" tag is hanging from your doorknob.

I didn't care for the place. The coffee(in lobby only) was horrible! Nothing in the rm., cups, ice bucket etc. The only thing is tissue, that's nice to have. Someone set off the fire alarm at 2am. We all had to get up & the firefighters had to check the building!

The breakfast buffet lacked coffee, had to ask and it was delivered. There was an unsupervised, sneezing child in the buffet area, witnessed the child sneezing into the bagel container. The buffet needs a drain to dump out beverages. The room was functional at best, lacked normal amenities like drawers and perhaps a microwave. Some smell in the pillows
