This hotel was quaint, unique, clean, and perfect location. The worker put us in a room that had a balcony and was amazing! We sat out on the balcony for hours in the evening and morning watching people and enjoying our stay. Will definitely stay here again!

The associate who checked us in was awesome! The room was a bit worn down - paint peeling in the bathroom, AC unit was confusing and looked worn. There was some mold on the ceiling in the bathroom. We asked that it be cleaned on one day but within 24 hours nothing was done. We asked a different employee the next day and when we came back to the room it was done, so 2 out of 3 staff people were really great! The hotel should have been 1 or 2 stars - no gym, no breakfast. It was sufficiently clean that my wife was willing to stay, but she did make me promise that we would never stay in a place like this again.

I wish I had not booked this place. The smell is pretty horrendous (smoke humidity mold) in the hallways and in the rooms, even if you let the window open. The shower gets clogged up after 30 seconds and you need your own personal electric cable to get the fan going. There were hairs on the bed when we arrive and there is no double lock on the door. Parking is easy but there were folks walking around and looking closely at our car.

Overall, I would say that our stay exceeded our expectations. The property was safer than I expected, being across the street from a fire department and a major dance venue. I did not care for the person checking us in. The room was clean and the maid service excellent. We were given room 116. The room is directly opposite a security door that makes a horrendous noise. At first, we didn’t know what that noise was. I would strongly recommend that management fix the door so that it doesn’t sound like a cannon going off.

Nonsmoking room smelled like smoke and the a/c was terrible. We needed a room for about 8 hours before heading to the airport for a very early flight. The location was good for food options.
