Do not recommend

They don’t clean room unless asked. Took two days to get a burned out light changed. The phone had no cord so it couldn’t be used to call the front desk. The tv only got one channel. It took two days to get that fixed as well.

The rooms are in need of updating especially the bathroom. More importantly, I requested room service the day before and in the morning. I came back to hotel to drop stuff off in room. The room was not cleaned. I went to front desk and again requested room service. The front desk clerk stated he would have it cleaned. We came back later that eventing to an unclean room. When I went down to ask why and to a minimum get fresh towels the Same front desk clerk told me that the cleaning crew had left before I went to front desk. I asked why he would straight out say the room would be cleaned when he knew what time they left . I got a blank noninterested and IDGAF look. Why would he straight out lie to me. As he dismissed me, I said I still need 4 sets fresh towels. He gave me two bath towels, no hand towels or wash cloths. I just looked at him in serious disbelief and walked away.

Great cheap stay!!

Check in was quick and efficient. She informed us that housekeeping was not automatic and that we needed to request services each day. We simply requested it each morning and the girls did a wonderful job cleaning our room, making beds, and restocking towels. The hotel was quiet and we felt safe. It was a quick walk across the street to the Conference Center. The Flatiron Tavern located next door was a hidden gem with great service and food.
