Hotel is a bit on the dirtier side and needs a bit of updating. One of the elevators is not in the best of working condition. Seen a very large cockroach in the lobby so could use a company to spray. My bathroom sink would not drain. Convienet location close to the court house, walking distance to the waterfront which was nice!

Awesome locations, just a few things to fix.

I enjoyed my recent stay at this hotel and appreciated a few key highlights. The location is excellent, with many major attractions within walking distance. The valet parking service was also a plus — it was efficient, and our car was promptly ready at checkout, which made for a smooth departure. However, there are some areas that could be improved. The presence of garbage cans in the lobby took away from the overall atmosphere. The bed sheets did not stay in place and came off repeatedly, which was inconvenient. In addition, the hallway carpets were uneven, which I found to be a potential safety concern. Overall, while the location and valet service were great, improvements in cleanliness, comfort, and safety would elevate the guest experience.

While we really just need a room without bed bugs, this room will sleep us fine. Nobs are missing,bed frame kicked in- safety rails need tightening- clean enough but long overdue for general repairs.
Not important but you asked-  missing nob
Not important but the top of dresser is rough
Hey—-you asked-  this is the bed frame-  it’s not secure
Again functional I guess but it really isn’t well maintained

Dont go

I moved to two different rooms n they all had dirty bathrooms. I didnt feel like moving all my stuff AGAIN so i just settled. Hair was in both rooms, soap dispenser had old soap bubbled up on it and then they sat my new soap wrapped in new package on top. The bedding had some gooey stuff on it. The diner downstairs is super limited in food options and the place charges 25.00 per vehicle per day along with the over 200.00 per night room. It was NOT worth it.

Nighmare! Never again!

Music blasting. Unbearable weed stench in my room because off neighbors. My kids don't understand what is going on. The front desk says they can't do much about it. And then I'm told to calm down. Always nice to change rooms at 11 pm with wife and kids just to wake up at 4 am to get to the airport. Nighmare! Never again!
