Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Door lock didn’t work, as in you don’t even need a key to enter the room. Made it feel sketchy staying there so I triple barricaded the door to be able to actually rest. Poop stains in the toilet. Volume not working in tv. Hole in wall elevator button on 3rd floor. But it was otherwise ok

Cozy quiet hotel. Staff was super friendly and accommodating. Room was home-like and I loved the kitchen space. Full sized fridge, stove top, dishwasher, sink with garbage disposal. Even had silverware, plates and bowls. 10/10 experience and when I come visit again I will be staying here.

Disliked: Staff & service
You’ll have to swap your towels in the lobby, none of the exercise equipment works, no pool or spa at all. The building is secured at night and this is great! You rarely see any house keepers and we had a strange moment when a woman knocked on our door to check to see if the lights worked and left abruptly. No mention of we needed soap, to, towels, coffee etc. Weird! Kitchen was nice and no ventilation in the bathrooms bring candles and or a fans. More like a motel 6. It served its purpose.
