Horrible location

Rude staff and the entire building(including our room) was hot. Our room temperature stayed at 78° all night regardless of what temperature we set the thermostat to. You have to pay for parking, however, this is never stated during the booking process or on the hotel listing page. Lobby looked nice but the hallways and rooms were dated and poorly cleaned. Will not be returning to this location in the future.

It was cheap and well-situated. The rooms are dark, the volume doesn't turn down on the TV that I could tell, and the ice machine was broken.

Very happy with our stay

We just stayed for one night to attend a musical performance nearby. The hotel is a very short walk from a number of restaurants and entertainment venues. The staff is helpful and friendly, the digital key that allows you to open the door with your phone is nice, and there's a convenient parking garage attached, though there is a separate charge for parking.
