Needs TLC to get 3 starts

The staff were polite and helpful, though one night stay. The room was spacious but in serious need of updates. Paint peeling off the very inexpensive furniture. No freezer in the fridge and the toilet was not secured to the floor.

I have stayed at fireside in numerous times, I have always felt that check-in has been so easy and I’ve always felt safe being there. It’s walkable distance to my favorite coffee shop and bookstore. There are numerous dining options that are also within distance.
