I’m not sure if the person who checked us in even worked at the hotel. They told us a range that breakfast might be available. Both showers in our room had amenities bottles, but they were all bone dry empty. Hotel feels run down.

A nice property nestled right into the crazy that is Canal Park. I love the elevators requiring card insertion, as extra security is never a bad thing. The staff was awesome, always having answers and being very efficient with our requests. The breakfast buffet was very good! The only downsides were the phones in our room not having their cords attached, and the shower drain was not sloped enough or unclogged to properly drain the water during showers. Other than that, it was a great stay!
