The room check in process was ridiculous. Took forever and in the ebd the enployee had to do it manually. A hold for $150?! . $50/hr for late checkout? Insane. Our room smelled and the kitchen was old and rundown.

I loved the whole setup of the hotel. It was in a quiet, convenient location. The staff was very courteous. The room was clean and well stocked. They provided dishes and the kitchen appliances were clean and all working. Didn't get a chance to check out the gym, but will definitely stay here again.
