Lady at the front desk was kind and helpful. Went out of her way when we had a problem with a tour bus not showing up. Was able to get an Uber to meet the tour bus somewhere else and did not miss our tour we planned many months in advance.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
There was no elevator, for two elderly women who had to struggle to get their luggage upstairs. The desk clerk directed us to a restaurant several blocks across the very busy street only to find out that it was only open for dinner time. There was no ice available. The room was not very clean. The door didn’t fit very well, and the lock was pretty flimsy. We only felt comfortable by leaving our packed suitcases in front of the door for safety. There were no hand towels or face clothes. We only had one bath towel each. Wi-Fi at our location was practically nonexistent. The only good things about about this location were the price and the working air conditioner. We would not recommend this place.
