The room needs to be updated, furniture was banged up and the light shades had stains. Hotel staff wasn’t the friendliest. There was an event going on Saturday night, the music was so loud it was shaking the glass (we were on the 4th floor) in our room and even the bed. Thankfully it ended around 11:30pm. Breakfast was good although not free for our stay.

The staff was lovely and I really appreciated the kind and hospitable nature of the hotel. I will say, however, that the room was a little rundown (Ex. a broken cabinet door, discolored lampshades, a glitchy TV remote, and chips on the corners of the vanity). Those are just little things that made it feel not as upscale, but overall I really enjoyed the experience.
