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

This is motel with only a few rooms in a “hotel” type area. The rooms in the ‘hotel’ area are only king size beds. The door to the lobby was broken.

My wife and I stayed here during our trip to see Ateez at Bridgestone Arena. While the room was okay enough, the pictures online look nothing like the actual property. This isn't a hotel, it's a renovated motel, which means the walkways to get to the rooms are outdoors. The street noise is extremely noticeable and anyone walking by to get to their rooms are also impossible to ignore, even at regular conversation volume. The elevator is completely detached from the check-in area. Parking is forced valet parking at $35 per night. The staff were decently friendly. There was a small coffee maker and a fridge that leaked all inside the cubby hole it was shoved into but no microwave. The bathroom is only separated from the rest of the room by a sliding barn door style partition. While there were thankfully no roaches to be seen inside of our room, a handful were seen skittering along the walkways coming home at night after the show. The one huge plus was the air conditioning unit, that thing was great. We wouldn't choose to stay here again knowing that it's a motel format instead of all indoors hotel but for the stay we did have, it was resolutely average and unremarkable.

Adequate and reasonable

Our stay was great. The only thing that kept me from giving a 5 star rating was the age of the hotel. It does have outside access to the rooms and they were very dated. Other than that, it was as nice as they could be given the age of the rooms.
