Parking lot at the property was undergoing a resurfacing, which left folks scrambling for parking in a congested area. This made late-night parking difficult as folks were concerned where they could park safely.

Our weekend stay

Comfortable and clean, close to downtown and venues. Despite the paving of the parking lots and the confusion related to that, it was good. I wish there was designated outdoor seating areas

Not as it appears online, don’t trust high rating!

My wife and I booked this based on an almost 8/10 review online. Also, based on the price. We didn’t even stay the night. We checked in and went to the room. The hotel is in a sketch area, is more worn down than the photos depict, has no sound proofing (I.e. hearing every vehicle, siren, yelling, gunshots), the beds are terrible, the rooms have outside drafting, the bathroom ceiling is 7’, and it’s just in rough shape. In no way should this be its rating / price. We left before trying to sleep, unfortunately we paid in advance and didn’t offer a refund. For only a $25 increase in price, we chose to stay at the aVid hotel down the road, and it was a step into straight luxury. This hotel is not worth its cost and not worth its rating. Try something for $25-$40 more.

Room was not very clean. Little trash on floors. Stains on walls and doors. Also, I had my cat and was told by front desk staff that I would have to change rooms after 4 or 5 days because of the cleanliness. Mind you, the room was cleaner once I cleaned and sanitized it even with the cat. I was staying for a work assignment. It seems that there are many people who actually live on the property.

Male owner followed me half way to my room. creepy

The owner would not let me eat my included breakfast in my room. I did not get to eat breakfast and was then hungry when I had to drive home. He personally followed me half way to my room, and upset me. It caused my blood pressure to jack up from the traumatic experience of him following me to my room!
