Friendly, Professional and Great Value

The hotel is in a good location in walking distance to downtown and the canal greenway. The people at reception were professional and friendly. Front desk employee Santana was both charming and helpful. The free breakfast offered plenty of options. There were also free cookies anytime.

Felt nickeled and dimed!!!

I enjoyed staying but I didn’t have any hot water coming out the shower! The warm was at best warm but the water coming out of the sink was very hot!! They came and did something but it wasn’t up to my standard of hot like the sink. And why was I charged to park? That’s a turn off for me never coming back to this property. I canceled a room around the corner because of the cheaper rate but parking was free. I shouldn’t have to pay for parking while paying to stay at a hotel. Add the price of parking into the room rates!!!! This way I don’t feel like I’m being nickel and dimed to death!!! Room was nice tho!!

Good and bad

Check in was great! We had requested rooms on the inside as opposed to the busy street side and that's exactly what we got! However, our toilet stopped flushing in the middle of the night, had to get a plunger, use the bathroom on the 1st floor. Also, no hot water in the morning for a shower.

The property was clean enough and smelled nice upon arrival. The tiles in the bathroom had separated in some areas and seemed not so clean in between. There was a hair on the towels as well. I wasn’t expecting to pay $10 for parking. I have never had to pay to park anywhere I have ever stayed. Where does that $ go? I could maybe understand if the parking was in a parking deck not attached to the hotel but this was a parking lot on the hotel property that’s not even monitored by security.
