The staff was terrific. I was able to check in my room a little early & out a little later. That was very helpful to a weary traveler. My only complaint about the room would be the outside noise. I could hear people in the hallway, cars on the street outside. It made for sleeping a bit difficult. The carpets were a bit stained and bunched up but other than that the hotel was clean and comfortable!

Valet Service, $45 a day; car parked 20 feet in front of door. The lighting in the room was limited and dim. No amenities worth paying this much for a room. Disappointed at the 'lackluster' experience.

Good location but not worth the money

The location is great, but the rooms are pretty worn out (e.g., chipped doors, cracked counters, scuffed paint). That part would have been ok, but to make matters worse, the iron apparently had rust in the steam vents and ruined a white dress shirt with rust colored splotches, and when we returned to the hotel late after a wedding, water was leaking from the ceiling over the bed.

Loved the location

Very enjoyable 2 night stay. The room and bathroom were very clean, the bed was inviting. I didn’t find the pillow situation very comfortable. The Tv remote was iffy. The breakfast offerings were adequate and tasty. The staff were very polite and helpful.
