The Sather is a dependable stay. Not luxury but has parking included and is quiet enough to rest. The shower is hot with good pressure.

The bed was broken when we checked in. We immediately showed them. They said the would fix it or move us. The fix was to put a metal garbage can underneath the frame to hold it up. We stayed there three nights and they never permanently fixed it. We already reached out to Expedia but there was no response. Not good customer service by hotel or Expedia.

Make sure your reservation is real.

Cancelled my room without letting me know until I showed up to check in. They did not call or email me. I booked the room 6 months in advance.

The Sather tries too hard to be cool. The bathroom has a barn door that isn't the right size, and offers no privacy. The floor boards were coming up in one spot, there was drywall damage that was poorly repaired, and paint was peeling in the bathroom. Then, the free WiFi keeps booting us out, and the TV loses signal every half hour or so. Not worth another stay.

They should not advertise that this room rate come with breakfast which was a joke. Coffee was the worst I had in many ears! Cigarette smoke Cigarette smoke permeates and spills over even in the so called nonsmoking rooms. The USB charging plugs do not work in the room.
