Everything was great. Only 3 things could use some attention. The hallway carpets need a cleaning, people in parking lot asking for money and the flag out front needs replaced as its torn in several spots. Would definitely visit again if i travel that way.

Nice Hotel, needs better parking
The only issue we had was parking. During the week, the hotel shares parking with the DMV, so we had a hard time finding a parking spot

Pictures definitely do the place justice. The area in general is pretty odd for a hotel. And the smell in the hotel and rooms were just awful. But it wasn’t the worst place I’ve stayed…

While the room we stayed in was pretty clean and updated the common areas, foyer, hallways, etc seemed very old and outdated. There was a distinct dirty carpet smell throughout I'm sure due to the fact that the carpet was very dirty looking and widely stained. We arrived after a long car ride close to 10pm at night to be told that our reservation (made through Expedia) wasn't in their system. This problem took 30 minutes to solve while we tiredly waited holding our bags. Overall, not super satisfied. The only redeeming thing was the room was decent for the price.
