Remind me not to come here again.

I was mistakenly booked into a smoking room. The staff quickly changed my room for me. The location is not very good. No restaurants nearby. The air conditioner was very cold and when I turned it off it was too warm in the room. Hotel is on the old side.

Not Ok for the price

The building needs some TLC. There were no working Ice machines except on the thrid floor. The room was clean, but the outdated. the middle cutains had stains on them. The neighborhood could a bit scary at time, but over all not bad. The staff was curtious but not friendly.

Very disapointed

Staff is great. Room needs upgrade. Carpets is very stained. Sheets look like they were not changed. Mattress needs replacement because you can feel the springs around the edge of the mattress. You should not be charged for parking at this hotel but you will be charged. I Will not visit again. Sorry!

Not bad for the money.

Checked in late and got very good service from the clerk who directing me to good local amenities. Easy access to downtown and the major traffic arteries. Rooms are a bit dated but clean and well stocked with bath items. Walls were a bit thin but the view was nice.
