Older hotel in a convenient location. Room was nice and spacious, but dated. Overall, very convenient and walkable to several restaurants. One star off because of $20 fee for parking. Other hotels in the area don’t charge for parking.

Upon arriving to the property, they had no A0A walk in shower rooms. Available. I was accommodated with a first room floor one twelve close to the entrance.But there was a repetitive buzzing noise that happened in the room.Every fifteen minutes for a minimum of 3-5 minutes. I attempted to unplug items in the room just so I can get a good night's sleep.But it didn't help alleviate it.And the sound kept going throughout the night consistently. And I was actually visiting the property for a funeral. So my sleep was extremely important. But the front desk staff did provide 2 complementary breakfast buffets as a jester, which were mediocre at best.

This is a great hotel. It is a little dated, but it is spotless—so clean! I am a stickler for clean hotels, and I have been often disappointed by high cleanliness ratings, but I love that even though this hotel is somewhat dated, it is super clean. Additionally, there is a lovely area at the back of the hotel to enjoy food or just take a break. The only reason it was not 5 stars is because of the food. I had breakfast and dinner. Breakfast was not worth the price of the buffet. And, I wound up vomiting up my dinner a few hours after eating it. I would not recommend eating on site. There are plenty of options within walking distance. The staff are very friendly!!

Nice enough

It’s an aging nice hotel. There are robes and room service but everything feels a bit dated. Not by a lot but just enough to take it from a great hotel to a fine one. Also, the AC isn’t that great so if you run on the warm side bring a fan.

Going downhill.

This hotel's infrastructure was nice a decade or so ago. There are small things today that rub the wrong way. Though there are acres of outdoor parking in a neighborhood with lots of street parking, they charge you $20 for the privilege to park on the premises. If we had known in advance, we might have stayed somewhere else simply because we thought the price was competitive. The in-room coffee machine didn't work. The thermostate wouldn't change from a really cold setting so we had to turn it off. The dining room is open to the main hallway and there was a crowd of kids in line to take the PSAT test passing next to the tables so it felt like we were dining in a bus terminal. Definitely a decline since my first stay here.
