I would not suggest visiting this hotel during the summer. We had visited this hotel for my brothers. Graduation in . There was no air-conditioning in the rooms, but they did have air conditioning in the main lobby area. they do not have continental anymore. I was under the impression that they did, which is why I booked this hotel. They do not have a parking structure. I repeat NO PARKING! You would have to park in a public parking lot near the hotel or on the streets and Pay.

One of my worst hotel stays ever. This hotel is extremely, old, outdated and dirty. I wish I would have taken photos in my room to show examples but I was just eager to get in and out fast as possible. There is no designated parking for the hotel, you have to park at charge in a nearby lot, or pay for valet. The building is falling apart and downright gross. Water stains everywhere in the bathroom, dirty carpet, chipped paint, loose handles, you name it. On top of it, the service and check in was an absolute mess. The staff member at check in was a very polite and helpful gentleman, but he could not save the experience. Upon checking in I am given a room key, I go to get settled in my room, but the key doesn’t work. I tried it at least 20 times. I go back down and ask for another key, this time I go to use the key, I open the door and the room is CLEARLY still occupied, clothes strewn around the room, toiletries on the bed side etc… this is unacceptable. If someone had actually been in the room when I opened the door we both would have been mortified. I returned to the staff member very flustered and he is questioning me about whether I have the right room etc as though he didn’t give me the key. He double checks in the system and he’s completely puzzled and can’t figure out how this happened. Eventually he offers me another room, with an upgrade, but says “he will waive the upgrade fee.” Well duh! Why would I pay for y’all’s mistake!!! Anyways, awful experience here.
