Parking garage is not good for large vehicles and the parking fee is $38, per night. No carts available for carrying luggage to room. Carpet in room is old, stained and needs a good cleaning. Very little counter space in bathroom and sink is next to shower head in tub making it difficult to turn on shower valve due to shower door not opening far enough. Breakfast was good and had a large variety to choose from.

Weekend Trip

The hotel is in a great location. It’s a bit outdated. Our room was not cleaned very well, found garbage by the side of the bed and the carpet didn’t look like it had been vacuumed, there were some hairs in the shower. The beds were comfortable, sheets were clean, you could start hearing the street noise fairly early in the morning.

Weird layout. Old rooms … ok balcony. The front of the hotel was under remodel so had to walk a ton to get to check in - parking is in a garage on the other side of the bldg - which makes it hard to navigate the area since traffic, traffic signs make it a bit confusing.
