Good stay!
We had a good night's sleep. The room was large, and the bathroom was clean. The pillows and mattress were very good, and we really had restful sleep. Breakfast was simple, but had good coffee and a cappuccino machine!

A little maintanence would go a long way.
This hotel could be awsome, decent size rooms, great balconies on the rooms and what could be beautiful grounds, including a court yard pool, hot tub, and glass elevator. Unfortunately just run down and not well taken care of. A little maintainence would go a long way.

2/10 Poor

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE very unprofessional front desk attendants. My shower did not work, remote did not work and the refrigerator did not work. Lost about $72 worth of left overs. My biggest issue was my shower not working!!! my husband went to the front desk to notify them of the issue they said they would send someone over which they did, but we were told they were going to call their supervisor. We waited about 30 minutes, no one came, I ended up going to the front desk and that’s when they said they can take us to another room ONLY to shower. What an inconvenience that was, not to mention EMBARRASSING!!! My husband and I walking in our PJs with our clothes in our hands through a lobby filled with people. I contacted Expedia and they told me they would not be able to refund my stay cause the hotel told them they gave us a new room!! The room was ONLY to shower!!! Nothing else!! Expedia gave me $25 I. Key points. Totally not worth that! I reserved and paid full price for a room in which the shower should be working!!! If that’s the case give me half of my refund. Disappointed in Expedia and the hotel! Shame on you all!! Front desk people didn’t even apologize for the inconvenience. This makes me want to book through another third party and no longer use Expedia. So over all my stay and experience was HORRIBLE!!!!!!

2/10 Poor

First of all the service in general was terrible. The guys at the front desk were very rude and ignorant. I was supposed to stay there for 2 nights with some people but only ended up staying for 1 night because we found bed bugs in our bed. So as soon as we noticed that we were out of there. No way we were going to stay there. The beds were so hard and uncomfortable and the blinds were broken so the light from the street was shining in our room the entire night. The handle to the shower was very hard to turn on so we had a hard time in the shower. The overall experience was just horrible and I will never stay at this property again.
This is the bed bug that we had found in our room and one of the beds had about 5 or 6 of them crawling around on the bed and pillows. Disgusting

Terrible hotel, bugs painted into the walls, paper thin walls you can hear everything going on around you. We didn’t sleep at all.

2/10 Poor

Hidden fees galore. Staff have terrible attitude and our borderline hostile. Will never stay here again and wouldn’t recommend it to someone I dislike. There is onsite parking that you must pay for. Claim to be pet friendly but have multiple hidden fees for pets. Only one entrance. Says breakfast included but only serve bagels. The property is in a rundown neighborhood. Horrible. Can I give them zero stars?

It was okay for the price. Surrounding neighborhood area is a little rough. We had a basic room. One bad thing was it's two floors and the layout was like an apartment complex. People upstairs were heavy footed and we had to deal with the walking around and thumping from the ceiling.

My overall experience was good. The room and bathroom were clean. Another thing I enjoyed was the hot tub and swimming pool. Though the breakfast was not what I had expected. They served beagles, yogurt, granola bars, coffee, and juice. I have stay in other hotels and they offered eggs, sausage, cereal, fruits, etc. Other than that everything was good.
