Left for 4 hours and came back to someone having entered the room & left without shutting the door, luckily nothing was missing. Had no shampoo available in the bathroom. The coffee pot was dirty, the lids were the wrong size for the cups.

I rarely write hotel reviews. This property used to be nice but is now long past its prime. We arrived at 2PM on a Saturday. There was a tent encampment across the street. The double doors from the hotel parking lot to the hotel were locked and there were no signs to explain. We walked around front and signs indicated entry after 9PM required a phone call. The lobby was very dimly lit and kind of creepy. There was no attendant immediately available. There were no other people present. The restaurant had a sign that it was permanently closed. Everything seemed in disrepair. We needed to walk back to the hotel about 10:30PM, after a nearby concert. Simply put, we did not feel safe. We didn't even bother checking in. We forfeited our $145 and found another hotel in a safer part of town. We would not recommend this hotel under any circumstances. It is a bit surprising that Expedia even offers this property.

We booked a king room through expedia. When we got to the hotel we stood at the front desk with a group of other people waiting to be helped. After 5 or so minutes a woman came out of an office behind the desk, wearing a pokemon shirt. No uniform, no professionalism. When it was our turn to be checked in, she notified us that our room had been over booked and there were no more king beds available. She offered to switch us to a queen bed room, but stated she "could not over ride the booking. Only a manager could do that" she then stated that the manager "wont answer phone calls or texts" but i would not be charged with a king room. I would only get charged for the queen room. She then had to figure out which rooms were clean, because she "had no idea what rooms are clean or dirty". After a while she came back down and assigned us a room. By the time we get to the room its already 8:30pm. We are exhausted,frustrated, and starving. We get to the room, and its a single twin matress room. We take a bunch of pictures of the room, room number, and matress and figure we will get it straightened out after dinner. We eat, we go back to the hotel and tell the same woman in the pokemon shirt tells me the twin matress room is the same price as the queen and she doesnt have a queen. But i can get a refund from expedia, because the manager wont answer calls. I contact expedia,what do you know. They tell me they can not do anything except reach out to the hotel. Been weeks. Still nothing.

Upon check-in the registration desk the clerk was unable to find my confirmed registration number. After repeated attempts to reach a live agent at Hotels.Com, I was finally able to make a connection. The Hotels.Com representative spoke directly to the hotel registration desk and was still unsuccessful in finding my confirmed reservation. Luckily the hotel was not sold out. We had to cancel my reservation from Hotels.Com and then make a new reservation directly at the hotel. This entire process was quite frustrating and stresssful as we were on a timeline to make it to a concert.

Understaffed, poor condition
Overall condition of the hotel has really gone down hill. Room was clean (had another incident previously where the bed had been slept in and there was vomit in the toilet) but everything seems to be very dated and marginal condition. The biggest issue was after picking up my employee at the airport, we arrived at the hotel at 9:15PM to find the front door locked with a note taped to the door that they would be back at 9:45. Used to use this place regularly but unfortunately too many bad experiences to continue using.

An aging hotel
As soon as my friend and I parked in the parking lot, we were accosted by a panhandler. As we were checking in, another man came into the lobby and asked the desk clerk to call the police. We were unsettled but our reservation was non-refundable. The hotel lobby had a library like decor with lovely wood, bookcases and leather furniture. The carpet was old and stained as was the carpet in the rooms. Coffee was available in the morning and the staff was friendly. Basically, this hotel has seen better days.

Very clean and comfortable room. Out of order note on outer door of parking lot and elevator. Elevator was confirmed to work by a maid despite note. Neighborhood is mostly cement but it was only a short walk to downtown activities. For the price I would stay again.

Hotel was run down and not maintained well. TV didn't work. Shades didn't close. Elevator broke for a day. Everything was a little dingy. It wasn't sketchy, it just needs some love.

This is a hotel in the downtown district. The lobby is impressive, but the front desk is slow. The room could be cleaner. The blunds need to be changed and the old leather chair. The bathroom was clean and warm.

The only thing I liked about this hotel was the book den style lobby upon entering. The outside appearance lacks the overall aesthetics of a clean hotel. The inside represents that as well. This hotel is very outdated. A complete overhaul outside and inside is definitely needed! By far the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Thankfully, it was only for one night. Unfortunately, I will not recommend this hotel to anyone!
