Honestly, the hotel is great for modest accommodations, no frills experience. My stay wasnt great... 1 dirty towel no toiletries (shampoo/body wash) room condition wasn't great. HVAC system was on point and the large smart TV huge +++ Previous stays have always been great... Sometimes it is what it is. Though I got the room at a steap discount for Friday Night... $55.00 total cost and I can't blame them for putting me in a crap room. I was probably the lowest paying customer checking in Friday Evening. Usually customer service is always on point.

The hotel was fine - the problem is the clientele they are allowing: A lot of young, violent, confrontational drug addicts in the area, and some are staying here.

Felt very unsafe! The hotel was poorly kept and our room was filthy. The bed sheets looked okay, but we slept in our socks and street clothes just in case! We only had one wash rag with our two towels and no hand towels. There were gauze pads and an old dirty pink hair comb in the medicine cabinet. The fan in closet was so dirty, it looked like it had been blowing dust and dirt around for years! The blackout curtains didn’t fit the window and they were installed backward. My daughter and I felt so unsafe that I blocked the door with a chair they had by the desk (if you can call it that)! The door only had one simple lock and there was some sort of gum or wet paper stuffed in the peep hole of the door. There was dirt or some other type of “matter” on walls.. had we not arrived so late and were forced to stay there, I would cc have left in a heartbeat!! If I could rate this a negative number, I would!! I caution anyone who is looking at booking this hotel!!

Hotel staff is always welcoming and friendly. Housekeeping always helpful and quick to respond w/assistance. Property undergoing construction just to be aware. Smart TV (Roku) and mini fridge/micro all is working order. Rooms meet basic standards. In a great location close to transportation and Market Street! (Only 3 blocks away)

Unfortunately not what was advertised online. No towels to shower and smell of old cigarette smoke. Would like a partial refund.
