Meh
For a quick one night stay, it was adequate, but had I stayed longer, it wouldn’t have been ideal. The mattress was hard as a rock (it was the firmest mattress I’ve ever slept on), the tv/remote barely worked, and I couldn’t connect to the internet at all. The coffee machine had 5 decaf coffee pods (no regular) and one tea with zero condiments; no sweeteners or creamers. The employees were generally nice and helpful, as I had to leave early before the valet got there.

TERRIBLE HOTEL
Hotel was terrible! Oversold rooms, put us in a lessor room and was completely unapologetic about it. Had to sleep on a dirty couch. Staff was rude, rooms were dirty. Completely unsafe location. Wouldn’t stay here again if you paid me!

Good hotel , for the price .
Good location. Rooms were good . Staff was super friendly and helpful, wonderful people all around . A few food places to eat close by in daytime , but area becomes downright dangerous after dark. Do your walking and exploring in daytime .

The area feels unsafe. Door was locked when we arrived to check in, staff were slow to arrive at the door. Staff were also not very warm, and a little sketchy/ unprofessional. Then, loud club music and ambulances all around made even nice conditions very disconcerting. Will likely never stay here again.
