The room was generally clean and the bed was fine. The room was pretty run down otherwise with the door scraping the floor, shower head hanging down, no bulbs in two of the light fixtures, etc. It was much cheaper than other hotels in the area but needs some attention.
The frontdesk staff is really nice. I have to check out one day earlier due to my schedule change. And the lady in frontdesk reminded me I could apply for a refund through expedia. Thanks to her, I got back my one night money!
My family and I were extremely disappointed with our experience at the hotel. Despite its attractive appearance in photos and from the outside, we were taken aback by how dreadful it was once we arrived. The atmosphere was creepy and unsettling, making us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. The façade of the hotel was deceiving, and we could not bring ourselves to stay there any longer. It was a complete disappointment and a definite warning to never judge a book by its cover. So we didn't stay i canceled the reservations and now im waiting on my refund.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
When the staff was asked to bring cleaner sheets, the ones the brought were stained just as badly.
Room was not very clean, desk was removed, bathroom door not closing, railways under the windows, lots of noise in the corridor with people entering/ leaving all night, noisy doors, etc…
I booked and paid. When I arrived, they said I wasnt in the system. I showed my receipt but he said "we don't have any more rooms". Pretty sure they took my money and rebooked or bamboozeled someone else.
I appreciated that it was located within walking distance to Williams-Bruce Stadium.

Convenient to downtown, bed was comfortable, breakfast wasn’t what you expect… ideal for a one night stay that you aren’t spending a lot of time at the hotel.

Well let start by saying , when you have mold coming out of the sheetrock - you don't paint over it, you replace it 😉. When you have more company in your room that you wanted. Yes they have roaches, i have pictures of it all...
Was supposed to be smoke free, but the first room stunk of cigarette smoke. Second floor had a fire alarm with a dying battery that chirped all night. Room had a lot of damage and stained/dirty floors.
Property is very worn and lacks TLC, below standard; mold in bathrooms, carpet worn, sheets are sub-par super thin and not inviting hole in wall behind door, lots of clearance between door and door frame permitting noise from hallway to be very audible. Very noisy on side facing street. You get what you pay for ... cheap good enough for a couple hours sleep and go.
Owners should walk through each room and assess the deficiencies.
