Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities

The good: The beds were comfortable. The average: The rooms are missing typical furniture as we rented two rooms for our family and there was no couch, loveseat of chair to site in besides a desk chair. The desk and dresser that the TV sat on was meh. The TV did not work in one room (CATV was out for a day) The Cleaning crew was inconsistent. Clean/vacuum one day and not the next, missing towel, did not make bed, left new towels on floor. Very odd. One room had a noisy neighbor that liked to stay up late as the shared door is not sound-proof. Staff was nice enough though. Not very clean in one room as there was broken glass from champagne flutes, but they did come and re-vacuum. Area was very convenient to Metro and good restaurants. If you just want a decent bed and convenience, it will work well. If you need 5-star service, you will be disappointed.

Pros and Cons stay

This hotel offers pros and cons: Pros: Lots of hydration, all the water you can drink and a fridge to keep it cold loved that! The location is amazing! The housekeeping staff and bell men were great. Cons: Cannot check in till 4pm. I was told over and over again that I could come back and maybe the room would be finished. The lobby is dark and uncomfortable. It was not fun to get there and have to just sit and wait for the room to be clean and I did not see any urgency from the front desk to help me get into the room faster. The hotel bar was not friendly and not very good.

Overall good, but needs a coat of paint

The front desk staff, valets, and bar staff were all friendly and helpful. They were the high point of my stay. The room was large with a comfortable bed and the bathroom included nice extras like a dental kit and shaving kit. I'd say the overall condition of the hotel is lacking and/or showing age. There was obvious ceiling damage in the bar. The room had an odd odor, though not offensive. My shower door wouldn't shut all the way. And throughout the property there was minor, occasionally moderate, damage to wallpaper, paint, and floorboards. I would stay here again due to the lovely staff and great location, but the hotel could use some TLC.

I had a very unpleasant experience at this hotel. The room was dirty and had a strong, unpleasant odor that made it very uncomfortable to stay in. It did not match the photos or the description online, and the cleanliness was far below standard. I expected a basic level of hygiene and comfort, but unfortunately, this stay left me frustrated and disappointed. I would not recommend this hotel unless significant improvements are made
