I booked this thinking it was a good deal and had a convenient location. However the price I booked was not the price I was charged. Upon checking out I was charge a long list of extra fees which hasn’t been included in the original price I booked at. They charge a 30 dollar a night amenities fee for s’mores, water bottles (which we never received), breakfast (which is bagels, muffins, light yogurt, bananas which are so green and tasteless that I thought they were plantains. Eggs only appeared the second day. Teabags were hard to come by. No cheeses at all although they list that. Not a good spread by any standards. The beds were very hard. The arcade had three pinball machines - two of which were out of order, miss Pac-Man and a few others. There were no microwaves in the room so you had to go down the hall for the shared microwaves for the floor. The ice machine in the lobby was a brick of ice so we couldn’t use it. Only one car charger in the parking garage was working so that isn’t something they should be advertising as a perk. The garage exit gate doesn’t work so you have to drive up the entrance gate at your own peril. After being charged an additional $150! dollars, this hotel wasn’t any cheaper than the better hotels in the area. Book if you likely will use the s’mores, arcade and rental bikes but if not you can get a better deal elsewhere. I was also supposed to get a $20 parking voucher but was charged full price.

It needs a good refresh and updating the $30 facilities fee is a scam just another way to get Customer’s money. There was no value for that $30 amenities. Not sure what those entitled I didn’t use any no coffee in the bedroom coffee with included continental was terrible hotel wasn’t very clean. Customer service was OK but definitely does not look as nice as the listing I would look elsewhere unless you’re on a tight budget, but you want something OK.

PARKING = BAIT + SWITCH. They OVERSELL their parking. If you go out, when you come back, you may not be able to park. They refund what you paid for it, but you're suddenly left trying to find another place to park your vehicle late at night. Several other guests returned from concerts, etc, and were faced with the same dilemma.

Pretty ok. Great location, friendly staff, clean room with excellent bed and quiet view. Not a place to stay if you have allergies. Down pillow and ducts need cleaning. Toilet paper is the worst, so bring your own. Continental breakfast more limited than says on website. Website also claims you can order hot if you want. Should be you can order out. I will return, because of location, but will come prepared.

Jay was amazing ! They was reliable and helpful! The room was okay. But there was a few times I think the sink was clogged and there was black stuff all in the sink. Also the shower was definitely clogged standing in a pool of water showering. Also the garage doors were broken so it was definitely an inconvenience to get in and out easily.

I was really looking forward to staying here because the photos online looked beautiful, but my experience was extremely disappointing and, at times, genuinely unsafe. Right when we arrived, we noticed a strong smell of gas in the building—especially in the basement parking area and continuing into the elevators and first floor. We reported it to the staff and were told they were aware of it, but they “didn’t know where it was coming from.” That alone was unsettling. We also got stuck in one of the elevators twice and had to pry the doors open ourselves to get out. Clearly, the building is not being maintained properly. The bathroom on our floor looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in some time. The ceiling had chipping paint and what appeared to be mold. The room itself felt old, musty, and worn—not at all like the polished presentation online. One of the most concerning issues was the design of the sliding bathroom door. It overlaps with the closet door, so when one opens, the other closes. It’s very easy to get your fingers caught — and unfortunately, my partner did. He lost part of the tip of his finger and was bleeding. When we tried to call the front desk for basic first aid, the phone in the room didn’t even work. We went downstairs to report what happened, and the response was incredibly disappointing. There was no apology, no sense of concern, and the manager was not available. The lack of care around a clear safety hazard
