Superbowl weekend fun!

Wonderful atmosphere, bar service, desk professionals...only complaint was not being told we couldn't park ourselves and valet isn't optional in that lot next door. I tend to forget things in the car but all was well. Great place for my therapy animal as well. Park 4 blocks away. Also the microwave was not included= $25 fee. Great Superbowl bar atmosphere!

Sketchy, filthy, falling apart.

Condition of the room was terrible. Dead roaches on the floor, holes in the wall, no toilet paper holder, what looked like a bullet hole in the wall, outlets pulled out, and the chair was scratched and falling apart. There was no chain lock (just a deadbolt built into the door handle), which made me worried about someone coming into the room at night, so I felt compelled to move the chair in front of the door so the handle wouldn’t turn. Absolutely would not stay here again. Very sketchy.
