I'm a platinum member and they didn't want to honor the late check out without a fee. They made me show them where it says I don't have to pay a fee. So they said it's okay, let's waive that rate this time. So I have to proved them. I shouldn't have to do this.

Liked: Staff & service
The staff were lovely and very helpful and the bed was comfortable and tidy. The property itself is a bit long in the tooth - older brown rugs, broken tiles in shower, mildew in corners, with old, small and dark elevators. I got stuck in the elevator but the staff was very responsive an got me out within about 15 minutes. The location is central but there seems to be more of a homeless issue near by than other parts of the city we walked. We would not return, but if you get a good deal and it is the right location totally fine option.

We stayed in a suite and it was very spacious and clean. Sometimes pictures online are deceiving but that was not the case. The staff was very friendly and I especially enjoyed the option to get a latte and scone right in the lobby with a private cafe-like space to enjoy it. Highly recommend.

On day 2 of my stay i returned to my room to find it smelling strongly of sulfur. i called down to the front desk to notify them to investigate and immediately left the hotel due to the overpowering smell. i returned 2 hours later and the hotel had done nothing. i had to go down to the front desk and request a new room. they did give me a new room and upgraded to a corner suite which i appreciated. this is the most bizarre thing ive ever had happen to me in a hotel.

Great stay for the price and location. Elevator access is awkward - two elevators from parking to rooms. John the bellman/wine server/jack-of-all-trades was very kind and friendly. Give that man a raise! We appreciated the wine and cheese with music. Best part is location, just one block from Powell’s Bookstore!
