Parking at this hotel is a major problem. Guests are suppose to get a numbered space when checking in but no one parks in the correct spaces. You come in at night and your space is taken! If there is none available you are asked to park at another location a block or two away from the hotel. Also they charge for parking per night. I will never stay at this hotel again !
The room was clean, but the halls were awful - the staff was friendly, but seriously had no idea how to check us in - I was charged 3x for a prepaid room - I am battling them now on the charges.A/C worked fine, we didn't eat breakfast at the hotel - The room was absolutely tiny, smaller than a bedroom. When asked they told me we had the biggest room. Maybe 12x12?

The lock on my room had a malfunction--meaning I was locked out of my room. I was told they would get me into another room for the night. A repair man finally came and fixed the problem. It was mentioned I would get a discount for my trouble. I have still not heard back from manager! My stay was Oct. 28th. I do not recommend staying here. Good luck if you do.
The room smelled like sewage. There were no towels in my room upon arrival. I called to make sure I’d be able to check in early being a diamond elite member but when I got there the staff was so rude and told me no. Luckily they were able to hold my luggage so I wouldn’t have to carry it around at the conference I was in town for. I didn’t make too big a deal about things since I was only there for two days.
Room was fine, could have been cleaner. We didn’t have any hand soap or body wash. Tried to call the front desk a few times, nobody answered the phone. Often staff was outside smoking and we couldn’t talk to them when we walked in either.
Clean Room, Great Staff and over all a great place to stay. They did not have breakfast 2 of the 4 days I was there due to staff shortage but that happens.
Door Dash fixed that problem!
The staff were friendly. The location of the hotel to everything downtown was the best reason to stay at the hotel. The room was clean. The mini fridge in the room did not keep anything cold. THERE IS NO BAR. We were not told that at check in. But the hotel is close enough to other places to get food and drinks.
