Good for an overnight stay
Lovely renovated hotel, very clean and comfortable. The only issues were with key cards that did not work for a number of guests, including myself. There were people also hanging out in the hallway having a conversation, and the sound really carried loudly.

Clean room but terrible customer service
The room was clean and quiet in the evening but the customer service is terrible!! Before being asked to move rooms due to renovations starting the second day of my stay, one of the cleaners walked right in my room without knocking. Then there was a charge of $44.15 places on my credit card that the manager could not locate and I have yet to hear back from them regarding if they will make it right. This was even after a follow up email. Looks like I’ll need to call their corporate office.

Not the best hotel
There is not enough help. The front desk has to do too much to stay at desk. Also the man was on cell phone talking to someone about car repairs. It seemed we were bothering him to have questions. Hotel was being remodeled but the room i had was remodeled. it was not impressive.

This hotel is hands-down one of the worst I’ve ever stayed at. Let me start by saying that the good reviews must be fake—there’s no way anyone could have a positive experience here. The moment we walked into the room, we were hit with an overwhelming smell of must and dampness. The carpet was so wet it felt like we were stepping on a soaked sponge the entire time. It’s impossible to feel clean in a place like this. The neighborhood was sketchy, to put it mildly. We didn’t feel safe walking outside, and the building itself was in complete disrepair—nothing like the pictures they advertise online. they do not reflect the actual state of this dump. We booked this hotel because they claimed to offer airport transportation. Spoiler alert: they don’t. That was the main reason we chose this place, and it turned out to be yet another lie. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to my worst enemy. Save yourself the stress, the discomfort, and the regret—book anywhere else. This place deserves zero stars.

There is too much to say. There are renovations happening and we even got a key to a room that was already occupied. That is why i consider it unsafe. The renovations do not work. They really need to figure things out. There is no transportation to the airport either

Overall hotel was nice and clean. I was placed in a handicap style room with shower built for disabilities. Water was all over floor when taking shower. Staff was very loud in hallway at 6am making noise and holding conversation.
