The rates are good and the room was clean, but the hotel left a lot to be desired. You can't bring your luggage into the front door, but must drive around to the back parking lot after checking in. There is no place near the back entrance to park temporarily while unloading. Instead, you must find a parking spot some distance from the entrance to unload. If you need a luggage cart, you have to walk back to the entrance and up a flight of stairs or up and around a very long ramp to enter the back lobby for a cart, then bring it to your car the same way, then haul in your luggage up the long ramp. The desk clerk at check in was extremely nice and very polite. She gave us a choice of 2nd to 3rd floor and kindly pointed out that 2nd floor was pet-friendly, in case that might factor into our choice. So we chose the 3rd floor. However, after we checked in, we heard a dog bark several times in the room across the hall. Maybe she just got the floors mixed up? Also, on Friday night, we were awakened at 12:30 am and again at 3 with people talking very loudly in the hall. Not just a few words passing by, but having a long conversation just outside our room. We were also on the back side of the hotel, and there was loud music in an establishment across the street on Brookstown Ave. after 10 pm. Couldn't sleep. The breakfast for $8 would not be acceptable even if it were complementary. Bad scrambled eggs, weird sausage "product" and very bad hash browns.

I’ve stayed here a number of times. The cleanliness was fine, the staff was fine. One thing I did note in my room 406 that the bed I slept in did have a bit of a dip in it in the mattress. What I noticed this time, and I’ve noticed before, is that literally half the time I went out the back door to the back parking lot, that there were frequently two or three people hanging around out there smoking and some of them by appearance didn’t really look like they belong there so that bothered me a bit. It’s a decent hotel and his price very competitively with the uptown hotels that are just a few blocks away. . I don’t know I get their breakfast plans in the morning. You have to pay extra for the breakfast and you have to purchase a ticket at the checkout counter and then walk it over 50 feet to the girl who checks you in into the dining room. While they don’t just leave that girl Standing there to collect money rather than having to go through the extra step of buying a ticket, I don’t know. In my case, the first day, there was nobody at the front desk. The guy had stepped away for a little bit, and even the girl from the dining room came in to look for them in the back and couldn’t find them. It just seems like an extra step. Why don’t they just let the dining room employees sell the ticket? Their breakfast is good however. It’s eggs every morning and they have a variety of sausage links or sausage patties, usually some hashbrowns and maybe egg casserole. They also fruit and waff

I had a salad when I first arrived to my room. Through it in the fridge so I could eat it the next day, went to get it the next day and realized my fridge wasn’t plugged up, so my salad was spoiled. There was a lot of grime and stains in the shower and the shower head wasn’t clean either. It’s very dark in the room so at night time you can barely see anything even with all the lights on. My room key deactivated at least 7 times and I had to keep going to the front desk to have it reset. Overall, not the best stay at a hotel that I’ve had. I probably won’t be returning.
