Could've been better but fit the purpose
Hair on bed comforter, really small room, bathroom looked like a commercial restroom, I did like the high walls on the shower, bed was very uncomfortable for me, very limited tv channels and tv looked like it was from the early 2000's. I did like there was a bar on site and it was super nice to have hot breakfast in the morning. Overall maybe a 7/10. I would probably stay there again because of the last 2 things I mentioned.

This was a disappointing experience for me. It is really a motel, not a hotel, where the door to your room opens out to the outside. The area the hotel is in is not particularly safe and the hotel (appropriately) gives warnings about the general area being unsafe. But i did not realize it was unsafe before deciding to stay at the hotel. To make matters worse, the door to the outside has a tendency to catch when you try to close it, so you sometimes think the door is closed but it is not. Also, the dead bolt for the door does not give a satisfying click or other confirmation to assure you that the door is locked, so i was never totally confident the door was securely shut. The room was reasonably clean but very basic. The king size bed was large but not super comfortable. (It was not particularly uncomfortable, but not very comfortable either). The room was a bit drafty but this was not too bad. The room did not have a lot of outlets but there were enough for me to get by. One reason i picked this hotel was that expedia said breakfast was included. However, the breakfast is not in a hotel facility, you get a coupon for a $6 breakfast at a nearby restaurant. I didnt try the breakfast because i didnt have time to bother with being seated, ordering, getting a check, etc. i was counting on getting a convenient, simple breakfast at a hotel breakfast bar, but that is not what you get. The hotel staff was very nice but the place has too many issues to recommend it.

Great location. Extremely loud.We didn’t sleep the whole time there. Metal gate constantly was banged shut, car in parking lot reved engine twice a day. Train was loud. Wasn’t aware of train going by the hotel daily. As people walked by room, were loud. Woken several times. Did not feel safe as smoke alarm was covered with plastic shower cap and not working. Isn’t that illegal? Tv didn’t work. Did not feel our car was safe parked at the hotel parking lot.Overall not a great experience.

In our room the steel frame for the bed had protruding metal pieces covered by a thin cloth that took skin off my calf when I sat down on the bed. When I grabbed the small complementary bottle of lotion to rub on my injured leg, it was empty. The elevator has a one-foot space on one side until it drops off into a stairwell, which is probably a code violation. In trying to maneuver the partly broken and poorly functioning luggage cart full of bags out of the elevator, I nearly fell backwards down the stairs. My bag of expensive camera gear did tumble down. Then, there was no way to maneuver the cart up the remaining stairs to the "first" floor, so I was forced to lug all our gear down to the end of that narrow walkway to our room. On the plus side, First Avenue Coffee down the street is excellent as is the nearby restaurant Wild Sage Bistro.

Great location, clean, but could still be better.
Very comfortable bed and a clean room. The limited onsite parking was handy. Great location but a bit noisy. We had a double queen and three guests but there were only two chairs, so one of us always had to sit on a bed. Also, the shower was setup in a way that you had no choice but to stand directly in the initial cold blast of water in when you turned it on. It was okay but I would check out other options if I came back.

The room was very clean and nice. Great size shower, the toilet is a little small but hey, you can't have everything! 😁 Everything else was functioning as it should, nice little fridge that kept all our stuff really cold. The only con we experienced was that the stairs are pretty steep and one side doesn't have a rail to go down and the other doesn't have a rail to go up. All in all it was a great little room, staff was great and accommodating...we would definitely stay here again. They also have the awesome Sapphire lounge attached to the hotel, it was fabulous! We went there both evenings we were there.
