Liked: Cleanliness
The hotel is in a great location, but very mundane overall. We had a relatively small room for the price we paid. Small matters such as plastic cups in the bathrooms, lack of conditioner in the shower or skin moisturizer in the bathroom are notable in comparison to other hotels where we have stayed. Very limited television options, even just for news. Overall, the hotel serves a purpose and was safe, but it’s not a place I would go out of the way to use again.

This is a very old hotel and we knew that but it is very dated looking and could use a refresh in some areas. The carpet in our room was disgusting.

Don’t book!!!!

Horrible. Not what I thought. Should have looked better at the pictures but they were misleading. The entire hotel was filthy. And the room…even worse. Gross, filthy, made my skin crawl. There was a greasy handprint above the bed and the chairs were ripped. I didn’t stay. I left!

This hotel is in need of a coat of paint and a warning that there is zero place to park. The rates for street parking are outrageous. The expensive breakfast was terrible. No shampoo. The beds are terrible. Avoid this property at all costs
