Just okay
Everything was okay. The room cost was very reasonable. This hotel is in need of updating. The carpet really need to be replace. The staff was great and nice. I really enjoy the restaurant experiences that was wonderful.
The property is old and dated. When we arrived and checked, the lady at the front desk gave us the room key. Then we went to our room, the key didn’t even worked. We went back downstair, the lady at the front desk said she send someone to fix it, but the gentlemen could not fix it. Then he decided to move us to a different room. But this room, the condition was worst it the other one. The carpet was old and disgusting, and the chair was ripped, the room view on this one was facing was terrible. The bed was not comfortable and the bedding was smell bad. The only thing we like is the water pressure was good.

Your site said this hotel had a restaurant and bar and room service. It only served breakfast. No room service and no restaurant other than breakfast
This Hotel is old and worn, needs to be renovated. Furniture is old and smells. Terrible place, bathroom was very unclean had to complain to get bathroom cleaned properly. Would not recommend to anyone.
Dirty room, trashes probably from other stays dirty bathroom, kitchen was completely empty there was nothing to eat or drink at that kitchen doors are not working properly! Totally disaster
Nothing was unique the first person we met was horrible very loud and aggressive. Tv was broken. They promise to replace it which never happened. Even though we continued to remind them. No hot water the first day and it made me late to a very important meeting
Old dirty run down hotel. "I'm scared of taking off my shoes in the room" kinda place. I was disappointed not to find a dead body under my bed. I had to stay the night. It was late. The staff was nice though. They didn't make a fuss about canceling the rest of my reservation. I guess you get what you pay for...
Room was dirty (crumbs, hair, nail clippings) and reeked of smoke (non-smoking room). Heating system alternated between aggressively shooting (very) warm and (very) cold air, apparently in an attempt to hit a happy medium in the 70-degree range. Phone and hairdryer were both broken. Trash can at the elevator hall was overflowing for 2 days. Garage was downright scary with gaping holes in the concrete floor. Signs say that the property is being upgraded but that doesn’t explain this experience.
17.00 dollars a day for parking, the garage for parking was full of scaffolding. No help at the door to enter, restaurant wasn't open and breakfast was a la carte, pay for each piece. The picture doesn't show the condition of the building as it looks in disrepair on the outside. I cancelled my reservation and went elsewhere.
