Did not have any WiFi connectivity. Too expensive for the condition of the property. Did not have staff remove trash or change towels during the stay and hot water was a major problem. Showers too low and not conducive for people taller than 5’4

It seems to me that for the good location that the hotel has, they have it very deteriorated, the bathtub is yellow and old, as well as the sinks. There is only one person at the reception for the entire hotel. I wanted to get a drink of water and none of the machines had water. When I entered the room it had a strange smell. The carpet looks like it hasn't been changed for years. It disgusted me to walk there. I would definitely not stay there again with my family.

Great for the price

Front desk staff were great! She was extremely friendly and helpful. Our room a/c unit was stuck on heat so that made the room unbearably hot , we opened the balcony door to cool it off and sleep. Bathroom is a lil outdated but the beds were comfy

This is a below-average hotel in a fantastic location. The bed was comfortable. The doors had drafts, and when it's in the 20s outside, that's no good. There were nearly no decorations, definitely not "homey" like the photos. The door to the adjoining room was SO thin. I could clearly hear the family in the next room converse, and they left the TV on all night. ALL NIGHT. The staff were ok. Didn't really want a timeshare hustle just to get my parking pass, though.
