Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were clean and well presented, featuring comfortable and tasteful decor. However, the carpets had a few stains, making us opt against walking barefoot. The service was friendly, although some staff could benefit from additional training. The location was convenient for my particular needs, but there were issues in the alley. The dining options were minimal, though the coffee was good. The hotel facilities met my basic needs.
The hotel had a bit of a mixed experience. The rooms were not up to standard - too hot with a broken thermostat and cleanliness issues. However, the location was surprisingly good with easy access to bars and restaurants, though some aspects were a bit scary. Service was friendly overall but lacked promptness in resolving issues. The dining options were mediocre with limited choices. Despite some drawbacks, the hotel is well-situated and offers covered parking at a good rate.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was convenient, close to downtown and nightlife, but the room definitely needed some updates and attention. The service was friendly and accommodating, and the dining experience had both hits and misses.
