Parking lot at the property was undergoing a resurfacing, which left folks scrambling for parking in a congested area. This made late-night parking difficult as folks were concerned where they could park safely.

My own mistake was not checking if this hotel had an elevator, but nice lady who had came into office to get a working remote helped me carry my bag up the stairs as I have many health issues that making stairs hard just getting myself up let alone carrying a bag up too. First room had a person staying next door that was smoking outside the rooms which the Air Conditioning was pulling into my room, so I called the front desk and lovely young man was able to move me to another room. Overall okay place to stay with helpful staff .

Carmen

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Room was not very clean. Little trash on floors. Stains on walls and doors. Also, I had my cat and was told by front desk staff that I would have to change rooms after 4 or 5 days because of the cleanliness. Mind you, the room was cleaner once I cleaned and sanitized it even with the cat. I was staying for a work assignment. It seems that there are many people who actually live on the property.

Liked: Staff & service
The staff was nice. The room was run down. The mattress had a big stain on it and It was dirty in between them. Breakfast was very limited - Bagel and dry cereal. The area did not ‘feel’ safe. To just sleep for the night, it did the job.
