Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was in need of maintenance and in very poor condition, especially the room 095 I stayed in. However, the service was top-notch with friendly and professional staff. The location was ideal for both visiting friends and doing business, despite some sketchy spots. The dining options were limited with no included breakfast. The facilities were okay, considering the overall state of the hotel.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the rooms weren't ready when I arrived and the carpet smelled like cigarettes, the staff was helpful in addressing the issues, even offering a 20% discount. The location was convenient, but noise from the lobby disturbed my sleep. The dining options were satisfactory, though nothing extraordinary.
The hotel is in a pleasant location, offering a good base to explore the area. The rooms, while showing signs of age, are spacious and equipped with useful amenities.

The hotel was in a convenient location within walking distance of downtown and right by the bus stop. The rooms were clean and spacious, but the housekeeping service could be more sociable. The dining options were limited, but the location was ideal for exploring the city.
The hotel had some issues with cleanliness in the rooms and the bathroom was in bad shape, leading to having to switch rooms. However, the hotel offered 2 king beds which was a plus, but there was a lingering chemical smell. The service was helpful, but accountability was lacking for the issues experienced. The location was decent and accessible to everything, being the only redeeming factor. Dining options were limited, and no breakfast was included.
