Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
Pros: The room itself is very clean and colorful. The A/C was icy cold. It was quiet. Dowtown is walkable and 5 blocks awaywith really good restuarants with outdoor closed-pedestrian street seating. Convenient to the quaint dowtown area. Cons: The exterior of the hotel is aged and gives the impression that the rooms would be likewise but fortunately the rooms are brighly colorful and clean. The people walking int he immediate area can seem suspect......as in a bit "rough" looking or "off" due to alcohol or substance use, hence at times it can seem slightly sketchy. If you need a cheap hotel, clean,convenient to nice places to eat and coffee shops.....book it

The property is old and it looks like they have tried to cover some of its sore spots. I don't mind that as much, but when I find hairs on the bathroom floor, in the bathtub, and even one in the bed, that's not good. There was also somekind of purple stain on one of the sheets and one of the towels had a red stain on it as well. The continental breakfast was sparse. The staff was overall friendly, but when I asked for something, I did feel I was kinda getting a look like i was asking too much. I just asked about the pool and for an extra towel. The stay was quiet and trouble free as far as checking in.
