Definitely needs some renovations. Considering their location next to the dome stadium they should be a hot commodity and people would like to stay there more often not just for the convienvience but for the quality as well. Staff was nice but very few of them. Low staffed for sure

I was in town with my adult daughter and her newborn son. When I arrived to check in, I was told that the elevator was out of order and the lowest guest room was on the 3rd floor. Not great news for a grandma with bad knees and plenty of baby items to carry up a very sketchy, cold, halfway outdoor stairwell. The streets of the hotel were surrounded by homeless in broken down vehicles and people standing right next to the security gate. Had I known about the renovations and the elevator when I booked, I would not have stayed here.

This hotel is under remodeling construction (in February 2025). The elevators were not in service. The room could have been better vacuumed. Bathroom was clean. Had to walk to the main desk and ask for an extra blanket and how to get the TV to work. It did work with a few fuzzy channels. Breakfast was nice. Staff were helpful and pleasant. They called us 2 days before our arrival to ask if we wanted to cancel because of no elevator, but there were not other places available on such short notice. It worked out fine for us because we were on the 3rd floor, able to navigate the stairs and laugh about the circumstance we were in.

Just not good

The breakfast and free parking were good. The rest was awful. No elevator and the places you walked through to get to the rooms were places no guest should ever know existed. Mattresses and old furniture stacked to the ceiling, coffee cups littered everywhere. Stairwells full of garbage and discarded ironing boards and luggage racks in a heap. Stairs were half outside and 6 flights of stairs to get to the lobby was exhausting. Not appealing and nothing as advertised. Except breakfast, breakfast was great. Rooms were mediocre with many issues in upkeep.

Open back up when your construction is finished

Where can we begin....Been at a number of Comfort Inn locations and this one was by far, the worst. So many things wrong . . . I'll just list a few below: - NO ELEVATORS COMBINED WITH FREEZING STAIRWAYS INCONVENIENTLY LOCATED AT THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY. - LUKE WARM WATER IN THE SHOWER. - NO ACCESS TO THE EXERCISE ROOM. - PROMISED A QUEEN-SIZE BED AND GOT A DOUBLE INSTEAD. - SOME OF THE ELECTRICAL OUTLETS NOT WORKING. - FAUCIT IN BATHROOM ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN ON. We understand the problems of being under construction but why subject the public to such a miserable stay? ..... The staff was very pleasant under the circumstances and the discount on the return night a week later was also appreciated.
