The internet didn’t work all 4 days/3 nights we were there. The first night, we couldn’t check in because theirs was down too. No biggie, we got keys and checked in the next day. Breakfast was decent and the cleaning lady was nice. Our keys didn’t work every night we came back to our room, so we always needed to get new keys. On the last night, we once again went to ask the night window for new keys. A night auditor walked up to the window and I told him “our keys haven’t worked every night we come back” and he took the keys and left to another room without a word. He came back to ask for my ID, which I didn’t have on me, so I gave him my name. He left and comes back with a new key and says “keep it away from metal, magnets..” and I told him we are aware and are really careful with them, but we are bummed they haven’t worked every night. He just repeated “well.. keep it away from metals.. magnets” without an ounce of customer service. At this point, I said “so, no ‘sorry for your inconvenience’” or ‘oh no, I’m sorry you had to walk here for a new key” or any sort of empathy? He just shrugged. Night staff literally doesn’t care.

This hotel is a little dated, but I love that it was so close to the downtown area. I wish they offered meat options at the breakfast bar but what was available was okay. Lots of food options in the area.

The rooms were dirty and in disrepair. The smell in the room was horrible. And the front door have a big gap at the bottom. Front desk was nice, but I think they knew about the conditions of the room. Have to book somewhere else last minute, was a little stressful to star out vacations that way.

Stay somehwere else

This place should be condemned. The room was nasty, the AC did not work when asked for a different room the receptionist was unable or unwillingly to help us. If it was not for refundable we would have left. The rooms were not cleaned, due to "ECO friendly policy". The photos were a cover for all of the falls. The keys deactivated numerous times. Do not stay here it is not worth the price nor illness that can be contracted from staying here.

Will not stay here again

Door was in not good condition and was not opening or closing easily. One of the nights, there was a dog barking for a couple of hours. We notified staff and it took 3 hours to get the dog to stop barking. I didn't get a good night sleep that night. I will not stay at this hotel again

Good on-site parking and easy to get into room from outside door. Frig had a little freezer compartment which really helped my situation with making and packing lunches every day. Room was clean and bed was very comfortable. Everything worked. Door was a little hard to use and latched pretty harsh but securely. Tub valve leaked very bad (at least 5 gals/hour) but it didn't bother me too bad and apparently didn't bother the staff because I told them about it and they were aware of it during my entire 3 day stay.
