The hotel, staff, and room itself was fairly nice but the rooms are do close together you can hear people in the next room very well and it’s irritating when they don’t know how to be quiet during quiet hours.

Nice hotel to stay no 49\" tv or Netflix like on the description. Tv cable that hardly has channels. And they charge parking separately $17, when u check in. No smoking at all not even on the balcony, you have to completely get out of the building.

Hotel overall is a decent place to stay for the area & cost. Food within close walking distance. Hotel staff very accommodating when needing assistance. I needed more blankets and my tv fixed and both were done within 15 minutes.
My only turn offs were that the halls and lobby are warm and muggy. The bed blanket isn’t the most comfortable and the pillows were terrible, luckily I brought one of my own.

It's in horrible area of town, so there's that. The address is on one street but the parking lot is on another and even after calling the front desk, it took me circling the block a few times to figure it out. Once I knew where it was located, it seemed obvious but was not the most intuitive. Plus the front desk person told me it was across the street so that was confusing. From the outside it looks a bit scary but once inside it is actually ok. Overall it was clean enough for a very basic stay. The place needs new carpets badly. Beyond that, its ok for a night or. two, just don't overpay.

Our room thermostat was literally 90 degrees when arrived. It was SO hot and took hours to cool down. Ice machine was broken had to walk a block down the street for ice. The ice bucket in the room has trash in it, almost looked like sanitary pads. So disgusting. Looked like someone wiped their make up of and threw the trash in the bucket.

The hotel was just ok. But don't think I would book again.

The reason a Poor rating based mostly on location! Very bad neighborhood, many homeless, feels unsafe. I wouldnt recommend staying anywhere in the immediate area! Aske s for a second nite refund as we checked out after first nite in the a.m. I was accosted by an aggressive homeless man on sidewalk just outside hotel and followed by him back to open garage area. The security person was t proactive. The hotel did not refund for second nite but stayed as it was originally non refundable but I would have thought my reason for leaving would be reason enough for that refund. It was not. They also charged me in error $168 that I have to wait for it to fall off my card. No bueno!!

First, a warning: this hotel is located in an area with homeless people living on the streets just blocks away, if you travel back to the hotel at night you will see active street life, and graffiti on most or all of the buildings. The staff does its best to keep the place clean and the air conditioning was running properly. At night, the parking garage is protected by security guards and extra parking is across the street in a gated parking lot. There's a coffee shop located in the hotel for a breakfast sandwich and a pretty decent choice of hot or cold drinks.

When we got there. Our first room smelled like someone had been hotboxing in there with weed. They moved us to another room, the second room (202) had a cockroach infestation and a huge plumbing issue. Sewage was coming up the bathtub. Prior to this, we had management knocking on our door to ask us if we were showering because the plumbing downstairs was leaking. We weren’t, they knocked on the door across from ours - they had someone in the shower, and they were asked to stop showering. We thought we were in the clear, but saw the plumbing issue when we hot back that night, along with the army of roaches. We were finally moved to another room in the middle of the night, and that room was alright. When we checked out, they only waived our parking, despite the awful experience we had with the rooms…

My husband and I felt completely misled by this hotel. The website and photos make the property look modern, upscale, and inviting, but our experience was nothing like what was advertised. Based on our stay, I have a hard time believing many of the recent positive reviews accurately reflect the current condition of the property.
Upon arrival, we immediately noticed a large number of individuals who appeared to be homeless or struggling with substance abuse in the surrounding area. Unfortunately, since our reservation was prepaid, we had no choice but to stay.
The hotel lobby and café were actually quite nice, but the check-in experience was disappointing. Instead of being greeted by a front desk employee, we were directed to check in using a person on a video screen. There were staff members standing behind the front desk, but they never acknowledged us—not even with a simple hello or directions to the virtual check-in. We felt completely ignored.
After checking in, we were directed to a separate building through a parking garage and into a small, dimly lit elevator with a four-person limit. The walk to our room felt uncomfortable and unwelcoming. Once inside, the room itself was dark and outdated. The carpet had numerous stains, and our window overlooked a large encampment.
To be fair, there were a few positives. The shower had excellent hot water, and the housekeeping staff appeared to do the best they could to keep the rooms clean despite the condition of the property.

The property is outdated, and the mattresses are so old that you can feel the springs. All of our backs were hurting. You can hear people walking from the upper floor, and on the second night of our stay, we could hear the dog barking for almost half of the night. The room smelled humid, and the pool was so cold that you couldn't even use it. We will not be staying here again. The elevator can only take 2 people at a time. The only good thing was that there was a cafe.

The hotel was an average hotel. The rooms look bigger in the picture. Our AC return vent was loud and made it hard to rest at night, outlets were loose and phone charger would not stay plugged in, but we made it work. If are looking for a place to stay and rest, this is the place. There is no luxury, but overall the hotel was clean, security was on site and access to the buses and other transportation was good.

For the price, it was good. I would rate the hotel 6.5/10

First room was in a back corridor; not nice. Moved to a better room by management because of my length of stay. Area ok, not the best. Hotel constantly smelled of weed. Staff nice, helpful.

Not the most honest establishment - One of my packages was kept in the office and opened. The front desk agent had to search for it eventually finding it in the Managers office opened. Also, I booked the extra night because my flight left at midnight and I did not want to be at the airport all day. On checking out early their “ system” charged me $116. FOA could not explain why, thank goodness my bank alerted me to the charge and I was able to have it returned same time.

I stayed in room 335. There was bedbugs in my bed when I woke up. I called down to the office and asked for a manager to come up. Waited 15 min and called down again. They said they told management. Here is the thing, for me to have actually SEEN the bugs means that they are not new, AND the reaction makes me feel like they have heard this before. To be fair when I went downstairs they provided me with trash bags for my things, were very apologetic and were agreeable to me requesting a refund. I just feel like if this was a surprise, someone would have been up there to assist me immediately. I know if it was my hotel I would have been distraught over it happening to my guests.
