Great location. Air conditioner wouldn’t cool below 69 degrees. Have the Nest thermostats locked with key code. Had maintenance come, he used a hair dryer to unfreeze the unit and said it would be ok. Room never got much cooler throughout the night. No view. Visible water damage. No great space to open suitcase, ended up rearranging the room to be able to open it (without putting it on the bed).

little oopsies

The Hotel is in a fantastic area, close to everything, this was the reason for booking here. The staff were all so nice and kind. The room was very clean, only downfall was it was soooo hot in the room, we could not change the temp so we had to get a tech to come up, who told us that the a/c was frozen and to crack a window. We did that however, feeling a little unsafe while we slept. The hotel charged our card 2x for the same room, we did get back the 2nd charge within 48 hours but that stunk !! I would stay here again tho, just for location

The property is the most basic kind of place to stay, small rooms, front staff looked annoyed when anything was needed and when room and multiple defects from the room not being ready at 10pm at night to room lights not working or being able to turn off!
