Great location but disappointed with the service.

The air conditioner was leaking on the floor. There was no information in the room advising how to call the front desk. I walked to the lobby to advise of the leak and that the light was out when you entered the room. I also requested top have the bed made. I was assured it would all be taken care of. When I returned at late at night nothing was done.

The location of this hotel is amazing, unfortunately it’s a hotel that is not insanely well maintained. The room smelled musty, there was mold in the shower, outlets didn’t work, and the wallpaper was peeling off the wall. It’s got a lot of potential and was great last time I stayed 10 years ago, but needs some TLC

I first have to say the staff was very professional, polite, friendly, and made me feel very welcome. They quickly responded to an issue that I had with the TV and kept communication open a timely manner. My issue with the hotel is when I walked into the room. There was a very musky, moldy smell. The room felt damp and wet feeling when you sat on furniture and bedding, the pillows smelled moldy, and within an hour of me being in the room I had a horrible sinus headache and returned home from my stay sick. The room is very humid. The door does not seal well, therefore allowing the humidity into the room creating this conditions. The mirror was broken in several places creating a safety hazard for me being able to get cut if I was not super careful. In fairness I do plan on emailing the hotel with these concerns as well so they may address them accordingly.
