The suite showed a lot of wear with stained and frayed carpet and chipping paint on the doors. The door to the bedroom would not stay open and the doors to the bathroom and bedroom did not close properly. The hotel entrance was clean and staff was nice but not worth the stay for the quality of room.

If you stay here make sure they do not give you a room in the first floor (specially rooms 117 and 118). These 2 rooms are in front of the hotel's laundry room and they make a lot of notice. Plus the hotel had the horrible idea of installing speakers outside of these rooms in first floor, so you cant sleep, because they play music 24/7. We had the bad luck of being assigned room 117. Coudnt sleep the entire night. Besides that the hotel is great. Just the first floor bedrooms are horribly located.

The building is starting to feel a bit dated and could use some improvements. The breakfast was not great, and considering the $34 fee charged per night, it would have been nice to see more variety and better options. That said, the staff were great—very friendly and helpful throughout the stay. The location is also very convenient, which made getting around easy.
