We had a great stay here. Love the vibe of the building and the staff was helpful. They put us in adjoining rooms which was so convenient. The drive to the airport was so easy and made the morning less stressful. Will stay again.

There is alwasy sketchy people yelling outside this hotel. They have updated the rooms, I enjoyed my room, BUT the rest of the hotel is not that nice, they only have ONE luggage cart for a 3 floor large hotel, and I told the lady I had an injury and if she can put me on bottom floor close to exit and she said no, put me third floor furthest room possible. The curly haired staff lady was unpleasant, when I asked about the luggage cart as it was a struggle to carry my things she just said if it's not there guess someone has it...... They should update a little more than just the rooms.
