Easy location to universities, hotel was dirty in hallways and common areas, odd smell in halls, rooms generally were clean but the chair in our room was so stained that it needed replacing (and not to be used). Road noise was bad. Maybe a room that went street facing would be better.

Front Desk Not So Great

Front desk was not helpful. I asked for extra blankets for my child and was told there was none. There was no alternatives offered. When I asked for extra towels I was told to find housekeeping. Housekeeping was fantastic. Came and helped immediately. Food services staff were very polite and welcoming.

I’m not the type to write a bad review, but if you are paying $150 a night I personally would like to know what I’m paying for. Overall the staff seemed sweet and helped me out as needed. My room was personally not very clean. The sheets were, but the shower, bathroom floor, carpets, remote and furniture I barely wanted to touch. It was also very loud all night in the room above me, but i don’t think it was people staying, I think it was cleaners or maybe they are working on the rooms above me but there was none stop stomping upstairs from 6pm-7am. Again I think overall it was ok, but I think the cleanliness needs to be work on.

The problem we had is that the toilet flushing mechanism was broken. The toilet would flush, but you had to manually flip it up so the water would stop running in the bowl. I did tell the front desk whrmen we checked out.
