We stayed in the hotel for the soccer tournament having Saturday and Sunday early morning games. Both nights there was a loud music near the hotel for the entire nights. I understand that a hotel management is not directly responsible for the outside people who smoke weed and play music next to the hotel. From the other side 1. it is my experience 2. Hotel windows don't block external sounds at all. Hotel itself was fine, but it doesn't matter when you don't sleep at night.

Original popcorn ceiling in the main room, bathroom had been updated. The black mini fridge stacked on top of an old side table was quite the aesthetic view. Lots of highway traffic noise. The wallpaper looked like it needed to be replaced. A subtle must in the air. Glad my wife wasn’t with me. She’s very sensitive to odors. The curtains did not close for blackout, but the light always shine through the shears.

Not so great

This place is a letdown for the cost, to be honest. Housekeeping service often left the room unclean, the towels were ripped, the shower curtain does not match the size of the shower, and the desk chair was peeling and in terrible condition. Overall, the room felt really dirty. Also, the room I was given was extremely loud at all hours of the night. The room faces DOCO, and the noise coming from the escalators is pretty intense! You can even hear it through earplugs. Also, one night, someone started powerwashing the sidewalk at 11:55pm. Good luck sleeping if you book this place!
