Don't let the good reviews fool you. It's a great convenient location, but the hotel is in poor shape. The standard room was not very clean, there were holes on the walls and the room door. The bed felt like a hammock and there was no hot water in the shower, only in the sink. There was a musky moldy odor in the room. The A/C unit was noisy. There's no on site parking and parking in a garage is tricky and expensive. Your best option is to park on the street and use the meters in your advantage. We only use the room to sleep and shower so it was tolerable for a couple of nights, but I wouldn't recommend it for a longer stay.

If you understand that this hotel is rather old, it is okay for a night. There are bars downstairs with outside seating. The bars close at 3am and that’s when you can fall asleep. The water pressure was lacking something fierce. It felt like a sprinkler with a kink in the hose. The staff was great! I don’t think I’d stay again because of the noise and the room feel.

The place is old, but had bugs running around even with the staff keeping the place overall clean. The staff was great and helping and trying to make your stay the best. AC is not efficient. Very noise room - you can hear everything what is going on outside, club music, people talking, cars, specially during the night. The location is great.

Was put on the 3rd floor. The carpeting was disgusting and smelled in the hallway. Had to change rooms twice. First room, no fridge and phone didn't work. Second room the AC could not cool the room down. No microwaves in any rooms. Next day went out for breakfast only to return and my room card would not unlock the door. After two trips to the front desk, the person working had to use his master card to open the door. After returning from dinner was my room card re-keyed and finally worked. I feel like since I used Expedia which provided a lower room rate, they put those of us on a crappy floor or in rooms with zero view. My view was the backside of the building next door. Great location in the downtown area, but that was just about it for my stay. Rooms clean, but tiny bathrooms.
