The hotel was nice but coukd hear everything going on outside. Also, the underground parking garage reaked of pee and had a few homeless people wondering around. Would have been better if the underground parking lot was secured. Just for piece of mind.

Any place would be better.
Worst bed I have ever slept in. What I can only assume was blood stains on the very gross carpet. Lady a check in made me very uncomfortable with my visa. Asking to compare numbers to my online booking. All of this after having to bring my young children in past the group of homeless surrounding the building. (Apparently a shelter was next door) however crack was being smoked in front of the doors. If we had an option to leave we would have. Unfortunately it was very late when we arrived. Only stayed one night. Never again. Management never called me after requesting to speak with someone.

The property is in a really bad neighborhood of the city where there is a lot of homelessness and drugs, the parking garage is a place where the homeless stays warm and releives themselves. The continental breakfast was horrible, food was not good. The rooms were nice, the fitness center was basic but got the job done.

Firstly - the staff was excellent. Unfortunately for this hotel and this area, there is a SIGNIFICANT problem with un-homed people and drug users in the area. Every time I went to my car in the underground parking there were people using drugs and defecating. It smelled of urine. We even felt unsafe in our room - as the lobby was often un-manned, and the elevator did not require a key to use.
