The room was clean and the staff members were very professional and kind. The highlight of my stay was the bartender that looked like he could be related to Dave Chappel! He was the bartender, the waiter, the bar back, the cashier, the host, heck he may have even been the cook…! LOL It may not have been conducive for someone that may have been in a rush however, my sister and I found it quite entertaining to watch this one man show! For him to be working by himself, he handled a restaurant with quite a few people quite well! Thanks for the kind service and positive vibes!

Although the front desk staff was amazing the rooms were old and in need of updating and cleanliness. In the first room we got the toilet was loose from the floor and I killed a cockroach. Second room we got was better but bathroom was not thoroughly clean and there was hair in shower drain

I didn’t have breakfast. But the staff was very knowledgeable and understanding. And had extra toothbrush and toothpaste for me. Also were very kind about switching out a coffee maker in my roomthat wasn’t working properly. Great value for a place in the middle of the city.
