Great basic hotel
Convenient, no frills stay in a great location right at the edge of German Village. Parking lot is next to the Sherman Williams next to the hotel. Well lit and did not have any issues with safety even when getting back to the hotel late (10 pm to 11 pm).

It was a nice place- the one downside were the towels- old, thin and grey. An upgrade of the towels would be really helpful

This was a cheap hotel option, and the price reflects what you get. We stayed one night and it was acceptable. The room was clean but there were stains in the carpet and on furniture. Beds were clean and comfortable. We could clearly hear people going in and out of their rooms and walking in the hallway. We booked during a large music concert in the area, so there were probably more guests staying than usual, but even though I was given a parking pass for the lot, there were no available spaces and I ended up having to park on the side street overnight. We also had the complimentary breakfast and it was decent.
