The photos this property uses in advertising did not match the room we had. We knew when we walked up to the room and saw the dingy curtains that this was not going to be a great stay. The sheets and towels were stained and the lowest quality possible. The location was nice and the staff were nice, and that's about the end of the positives. There were hairs in the shower and on the shower curtain. I would not stay here again, but it was ok for one night.

The pictures are very different from in person view. The positives first. The staff were very friendly. The breakfast was good eggs, bacon, sausages and pancakes. For the very outdated construction of the building it was clean. The room was clean. I did notice cameras in the hallways. Don’t know if they were operational but they were there. The building was repurposed and outdated. Only one elevator on the outside was accessible. One working ice machine was on the four floor This property is a 10 min walk to Broadway. The walk coming back is inclined

Old motel that got a facelift

Looks like it was a run down motel that got a nice remodel. It is set up more like a motel and is not in the best part of town. Wouldn’t recommend a woman staying here alone. However, staff were very kind and helpful and it was clean. Pillows weren’t great and bed squeaked every time you moved.

Disliked: Amenities
Don’t ever use Expedia. Our room was so small, we couldn’t even walk around without bumping into each other and furniture. The bathroom didn’t have its own door. It was just a sliding door outside the sink. We hated it, so we went to check out the next day, but because we booked through Expedia, the hotel said we couldn’t just cancel the next two days. Sure enough- Expedia charged us for three days, even though we only stayed one, and good luck trying to get ahold of anyone at Expedia to take the charge off. We should have learned our lesson when we stayed at a hotel in Myrtle Beach. The room was dirty, and we asked to upgrade it, but because we booked through Expedia, the staff said they couldn’t help us. Lesson- NEVER use Expedia.

Motel 6 at best. Very stark room bathroom barn door would not close stayed at least 2” open. Water pressure and temperature horrible. Way too costly for what it is. At &300+ a night parking extra is a joke. I’d never recommend this place to my enemies. Like I said morel 6 would be better.
