"Great hotel in a great location."

" I did not complete check-in or stay at this property due to concerns that arose before arrival. After my booking was confirmed, the property sent multiple additional rules and restrictions, including references to forfeiture of an incidental/security fee. The property also required a $200 refundable security deposit through Venmo, outside the Hotels.com payment system. This was especially concerning because Hotels.com’s own reservation emails warn guests not to make electronic payments outside the platform. Before check-in, I also found recent public reviews describing similar concerns involving misrepresentation and difficulty recovering deposits. Because of the post-booking requirements, off-platform payment process, and lack of confidence in the deposit/refund process, I did not feel comfortable staying at the property. This was not a normal cancellation or a disagreement over the listed price. It was a trust and payment-integrity issue before check-in. "

"Having the water bottle fill up station on each floor and the coffee machine in the lobby was wonderful."

"The staff were super helpful and professional. The room was very spacious. However, the property is seriously no frills — a bunch of lockers for luggage storage, vending machines that didn’t work, no convenience store or coffee nearby. Unadorned cement floors in the room. Kind of dusty. People use the hotel to throw parties — it was extremely noisy overnight. Not a good place to go with kids or if you’re looking for peace and quiet, esp on a weekend. "

"Though we would like the ADA accessible double queen to be a bit larger to accommodate a wheel chair, we appreciated the shower/bath handles, low heights for hangers, and close vicinity to the elevator. There are also lots of power outlets for your devices! From Front desk to room service, to security, every staff member we encountered was always kind, above and beyond friendly, and helpful."

"Great location, lousy conditions..."

"Property is dated. Wallpaper inside the bathroom is peeling and tile grout lines are dark brown- due to dirt not because of the esthetics. We could not get reception on the Television and the bed feela like it hasnt been changed since the the Inn opened, soft and lumpy. The receptionist is not always visible which is concerning because anyone can walk in."

"Great location, convenient to restaurants and shopping. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We were just there for one night so didn’t really need/take advantage of the amenities. Overall, a clean and comfortable room. Perfect for short stays."

"Lovely room and hotel. Housekeeping did not come. Arrived late afternoon and no one was available to help with luggage. Family loved the exercise/spa area. Room was quick for breakfast, food was good but I was not expecting it to come on a cart or tray, not bags"
