The price was reasonable. It’s a lovely property, the rooms all seem to enter from the parking side, but face a garden and pool on the backside. It’s a park like courtyard, the pool was clean, not heated. Lovely place to stay.

The property is old, run down and did not feel safe at night. It was being used to house construction workers who were working nearby. It was very noisy and there is no security on site. Parking is very difficult (I witnessed someone hitting a palm tree while trying to turn around). Stay somewhere else.

Convenient location right off State Street. I wish the hotel had been more transparent about the pools available. Only one (1) pool was open. The other looked fine, but it was closed. Thus, the only open pool was a bit crowded. Also, I was assured at the front desk that my room would have a view of the interior patio, but to my surprise, my view was of the parking lot and a cemetery. Also, their breakfast seating area is tiny - like 5 tables - so for breakfast, it's impossible to sit anywhere. Silly.

I expected better with the 8/10 rating. One of their pools was not open, not working etc, however they didn’t drain the water which caused a uptake in mosquitoes our room was next to it and we we’re dealing with mosquitoes in our room. They should have had that fixed right away specially since it’s a summer holiday weekend. That’s was disappointing. Only 1 pool working for the size of hotel, it was full all the time. There were other random bugs in our room which we should t have had to deal with.
