Parking was fine but a little confusing. No air conditioning during colder months cause they have a boiler system so its either heat or cold. Room does have several fans. Staff was nice and helpful. Rate is good for how close it is to the downtown, easy walk to just about everything

The staff is nice. The place is pretty run down. The room was not even above average. There were holes in the wall that had been filled but not painted, the wall paper had gross greasy looking stains on in next to the shower, the bathroom floor was old/cracked linoleum, and the climate control had our room at 85 degrees all night. We called the front desk and they said open a window and turn on a fan. This was early November. Overall, the room gave us the ick and we would not stay here again. The place has potential, but is in dire need of a refresh.

It was 80 degrees in the room and yet had no option for ac. It would not turn on. The bed was terrible. I felt like a banana curve. Extremely uncomfortable. Staff could have cared less about the ac issue. And there were facial hairs in the bathroom so you know it wasnt cleaned

Old school hotel, with a real key! Loved the room, reminded me of where my parents would stay in the 80's when we were kids. Clean and tidy, and a great location to downtown walking. Luckily it was a warm day and we were able to walk around all evening. Would stay again.
