Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Security guard needed. Did not escort us to “the new outside elevator” for guests - as the indoor one was for staff only. We felt very unsafe late at night. Stairwells were not secure. Room was dated and beds were awful - hard and cheap. They use 1/2 pillows. Actual room was nothing like picture. Staff was friendly enough but annoyed despite me being very polite about situation. Only stayed arrival night because it was too late to get another hotel. Did not eat there. Probably good for young adults on budget that aren’t worried about safety and comfort as much. Location very close to nightlife but just far enough away to have lurking people in parking lot we had to walk through to get to new elevator

We didn’t realize that your room is more of a motel than hotel. It has an entrance from directly outside rather than inside the ‘hotel’. It was clean and offered a great breakfast.

This is a refurbished hotel that is a motel- opens to the outside. I’m not sure if that was clear when we booked it. Our room opened to the inner courtyard which was better then the street, but not sure if the price matches that.

Great stay

Nice room - shame there was zero natural light as our room was opposite the elevator which got rather loud at times- I imagine if you didn’t have this room then you would have no issues with this hotel. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The hotel was very clean. Bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was great! It feels like a long walk back from broadway in the heat but is close enough to the attractions.

The garbage truck came at 0200. Took 10 minutes emptying the dumpsters outside of our window. Lots of banging. I understand garbage needs collecting but that much noise at 2am was unnecessary. Difficult time going back to sleep after that. Location close to Broadway so we hadn’t been asleep long after being there.
