This property is right next to clubs and bars where there is loud music and loud college students. The hotel is on a one way street so if you dont have good gps or dont know the area all I can say good luck. The staff is rude and when I got there they wanted 50 more dollars for a deposit. I asked what the deposit was for all he said was it was a requirement of the hotel. If you have other people coming to your room to visit or anything like that then they will have to park somewhere else due to the fact is each room is allowed 1 vehicle due to limited parking. If you have kids this would be the last place you would want to be at. I wouldnt recommend this hotel to my worst enemy and that includes the devil

Knowing this stay was not an upscale hotel chain, we stayed there for 4 days due to close proximity to the convention center. The facility was full so parking was limited. Hot breakfast available but we went to a great mom/pop diner 1/2 block away. We were fine with the minimal housekeeping. We got fresh towels and garbage pickups daily. There were issues with the elevator but we were on the 2nd floor so not a problem. Hot coffee in the lobby every day.
