6/10 Good

Great location. Walk to good restaurants and only a few blocks to capital.
Richard, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Check in was simple and Staff was friendly and helpful. The bed was comfortable…BUT our room was GROSS! Carpets were nasty, bathroom smelled of old urine, tub/shower looked so gross we wouldn’t even use it… and the air conditioning didn’t work, so at floor seven the room was as hot of the seventh level of hell. Glad we were only there one night.

Shows its age

Room was okay A/C was not working Hotel hall wall had water stains and smell of mildew Continental breakfast was very lacking
Jared, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall, my wife and I had a nice stay here! The A/C was broken, which we were warned about during check-in, and the staff equipped us with a box fan. The fan plus the large sliding door in the unit helped keep us as comfortable as possible. Everything was clean, taking into account some stains on the floor and fitted sheet that were probably from wear over the years. The bed and pillows were comfortable enough and we weren’t disturbed by any other guests during our stay. The location was gorgeous. Everywhere we wanted to go was within walking distance, including the show we attended the night of our stay, breakfast the following morning, and all the adorable shops downtown.

Awful night

It was awful I booked with you guys hotel.com and when I get there they first tell me that the AC is out I think okay that's fine we can deal then when we get to the room the bathtub is disgusting and after that the toilet overflows and water goes everywhere we had to shut it off from the back of toilet it was a very awful night I just wanted a night to relax with my fiance for over a hundred dollars
Amber, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The hotel was in terrible condition. The air conditioning was not working and other guests were complaining that their shower was not working. Many people were getting refunds and checking out as the same time as us. The employee working at reception was helpful and apologetic. We booked the room because of the location - not expecting much - but it was pretty bad. Luckily we didn’t spend the night and got a refund.

Dated. Dirty. Disgusting. Disappointed.

This hotel was horrible. Dirty and gross. Total bait and switch with the photos. Don’t stay here. Hopefully you read the reviews. Spend the extra money for a Holiday Inn

4/10 Fair

Not great..

The stay was not great the hotel is very run down. The Ac was broken in the entire building and they didn’t have any fans to help with the heat. Ice machine on our floor was broken too. Bathroom was dirty stained blue and looked gross. Toilet didn’t flush. And overall the experience wasn't great. Wouldn’t stay again.
1-night trip

2/10 Poor

When we got there we were told the AC was down in the building, the only ice machine is at the check in desk. The room was 87 degrees when we got in there. No fans. The shower had a leak so it dripped water all night. The tub had a hole in it and looked like it needed repairs. It was straight up ghetto.
Lyndsi, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Slept in an oven.

Have you ever stay in a hotel room with no air conditioning in 92 degrees heat. Well, we did and it was terrible. The whole building's AC was broken and they couldn't get it fixed. And the bath tub was really bad. dirty and needed to be replaced. The shower curtain was old and torn !! Of course they charged me the full rate !!
Alexander, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Many things aren't working: AC, ice machines, pool, some of the doors. It's due for a reno in December and it really needs it. I think they don't want to put any money into fixing anything before the reno so it's slowly going downhill.
