The room smelled awful. Dank, musty, etc. Also, a former guest must have spilled coffee on the bed- all night long the smell of old burnt stale coffee wafted thru the room.

Classic Queen Room

The view was beautiful. The room felt smaller than the 200 sq ft listed although, I think this was due to the distribution of the space. The room was clean. The TV and remote were not working at first and required some manual adjustment. I would stay here again.

Perfect location.Room was nice bur looked like they were not done with some updating thar they started.. Not the biggest deal , but there was no breakfast though it says it is available. No coffee in the lobby. And they charge you forty dollars for parking which they don't disclose until you check in ans swipe. Considering the location it was worth it...
