We stayed Friday and saw the band unloading their gear to the Tiki Bar below the motel. The hard rock drums and electric instruments reverberated through the walls, windows, bed. I happened to have head phones but didn’t help. When they quit at 2 am it was such a relief! I had a family emergency and checked out they wouldn’t refund the 2 addtl nights.

This property should not be listed with Expedia, besides lovely staff it is very old and in a very rough part of town, it has 3 very loud “venues” directly below the rooms and beside, but they do offer earplugs when you check in! There is no elevator or amenities of any kind, the bar is frequented by a rough crowd who were using very corse language.

For the price the hotel was ok. The area it was in was a bit run down and the hotel could do with a bit of tlc in the public areas and the outside.

The property photos on Expedia site is nothing like the actual hotel. It’s a rundown building with no elevator and 2 tiers of steps you have to attempt to get your suitcases up. There was only one person at the desk who claimed to be sick and unable to help. Also was originally charge an $150 deposit. All the rooms including the safe had regular keys. I put my luggage in front of the doors. There was an adjoining door to the next room and no lock on our side to use. We felt unsafe staying there. Total misrepresentation on the ad. The nice thing was the lady behind the desk in the morning. She was awesome.

Friendly staff. Room was clean and comfortable. We stayed during the week and it was extremely quiet at night to sleep. There is a cafe serving breakfast and lunch one block behind the hotel that was very clean and good food.

We arrived at about midnight and the front desk clerk was fantastic. Very personable and made us feel welcome. I was hungry and he volunteered to order food for me from a nearby restaurant. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The downside is that there was no elevator and all rooms are on the second floor. I would stay there again.

A busy area. The bus stop in front attracts an assortment of folks more interested in alcohol than rides. Once inside all is fine, and the doors are controlled. Nice staff.

Great room, great staff and affordable price. A bit noisy due to the traffic so will request a room towards the back of the hotel next time. Love the retro style of the place, high ceilings, proper key. We didn’t really explore the area around it as we only slept the one night after a concert. Would definitely stay again.

The overall stay was good. I’ll start with the things that were bad then list the good. The beds were uncomfortable and need to be updated. The bathtub/shower needed to be caulked again because the one in our room was molded and was coming off. The pictures need updated . We had dinner in the restaurant attached to the hotel and a mouse ran under our table. No one was concerned. Good things Close to public transportation. Close to nice little places to eat breakfast. On the last day the lady at the front desk was very helpful and friendly.
