Would not recommend this hotel

The good… Location Free parking. And it’s covered! The staff, both at the front desk and the cleaning crew. The room was updated. The bad… NO ELEVATOR!!! MUST WALK UP STAIRS even to the 1st floor! The person at the front desk did offer to help though. Parking is very limited. We did get a spot and didn’t move the car much, and walked mostly. The building is old. The breakfast area is very small and not a lot of selection. Compared to other hotels, it’s not very good. Rooms are in an open courtyard and you hear everything. Outside the rooms is concrete not carpet so you hear the cleaning carts, people talking and rolling their luggage by, etc. Can also hear the road noise and we were located 1/2 way down the courtyard. Our first night, people were talking loudly for over 30 minutes at 2 am. We called the front desk and they did respond. Took another 15 minutes to resolve. Darth Refrigerator was a frequent visitor in our room. It constantly made a weird noise. You can’t unplug it either. It’s relentless. Cell phone service 1 bar (not the hotel’s fault) and WIFI was extrememly slow. Wad of long black hair in shower drain. Yuck! Hair dryer in our room didn’t work (of course found this out after showering) asked front desk for one and they said it’s locked up in house cleaning closet. Had to wait 1 hour for one. Toilet wasn’t bolted down and slid to side 1/2 in. The safe was a good size, but was not bolted down to anything! You can easily walk off with it. We would not recommend.

This was a fine hotel to stay at. They have a decent breakfast, limited selection but the choices they had were good. Room was a basic room and that’s all we need so it was good for us. Has a corner store close and lots of food options as well. Staff is friendly.

We liked the location of the hotel. However, the rest of our experience fell short of expectations. The advertised breakfast was a major disappointment. We arrived around 7:15 a.m., but the only option available was cereal—and there was no more milk. After speaking with the staff, it became clear that breakfast items were not being restocked, which forced us to find a nearby restaurant and adjust our travel plans. The room also left much to be desired. It had a persistent unpleasant odor, especially noticeable when the air conditioning was turned on. On top of that, the AC unit was very loud, making it difficult to relax or get a good night’s sleep. While the location and staff were positives, the poor room conditions and lack of breakfast service significantly impacted our overall experience.

Be warned before booking that this hotel doesn’t have an elevator. I didn’t notice that detail while booking which was my mistake but good for others to know before showing up with young children and four suitcases to lug up two flights of stairs. The parking situation was less than stellar. Only a few spots available on a first come, first served basis. The two bay doors were open all night even though there were signs posted throughout the garage notifying guests of the high crime rate in the area. The room was clean but had a strong dank, musty smell that got worse when the air conditioner would kick in. The bathroom tub was dated and stained and the pillowcases were either stained or had not been cleaned after the previous guest. In between the two double beds was a nightstand with a lamp and two electrical outlets. I use a CPAP machine to sleep and it wouldn’t work on either outlet. I called the front desk to inquire and he said that if the lamp worked then the outlets should be working. My husband pulled the panel out to check the wiring and it was a rat’s nest of wires. Wall mount face plate appears to be just a power bar screwed into the wall plugged into another power bar which is plugged into another hidden outlet. He wiggled the wires until the power bar worked but then I was worried all night about an electrical short. Walls were paper thin. You could hear everything. This hotel might be okay in a pinch but definitely not worth $100+ for a night.
