Bait and switch - booked a Queen room, downgraded into a dorm room bunk bed. Asked staff to call other Hilton-flagged hotels in the area but they refused, apparently Modus (the group that operates Motto) doesn’t cooperate with the others. They have too many bunk bed rooms (the concept isn’t very popular) and apparently this is how they fill them

Loved our experience staying here and definitely would stay again. The walls were a little thin, or it may have been because the rooms were smaller, it was a little noisy and we could hear some of the movement in the rooms next door but it wasn’t an issue. Check in was very easy, they kindly let us check in way earlier than we had expected. Staff was super friendly, and the bar downstairs was great as well. The area around the hotel was a little sketchy at night but really not a problem for us, and it wouldn’t deter us from staying there again. The hotel had a lot of regulations like security and room key activated entrance to the lobby after a certain hour that made us feel safe and very comfortable. Clean and great value especially given the price.

Very small room with one queen bed, two bedside tables, large tv, mini fridge, safe. Everything was sparkling clean and attractive, but really couldn’t have hung out with a guest or two in the room. Nice hotel bar. There was a safe, but it would have been very awkward to access as it was at floor level immediately inside the door. No coffee in room. Odd that access to bathroom was just next to the nightstand rather than in the entryway. Very comfortable mattress and nice mint toiletries by Basd.

Stay here!
My husband and I stayed here for two nights and it was nearly perfect. We had a queen bed that was the most comfortable bed we’ve ever slept in while traveling. The location is perfect, staff was super friendly! We loved the coffee shop right down stairs. My only complaint is there was a weird clicking noise throughout the night. Not sure if it’s pipes we can hear through the walls or what it was but we turned the AC on and it helped drown out the noise. We were right across from the elevator and it was not very noisy outside. Very pleased with our stay and will definitely be back!

A great location with helpful staff and a great room and awesome dining options! My only concern is that the walls and doors are quite thin. I could literally hear the neighboring rooms bringing down their shades with the clinking chains. I'd love to return, but the sound was definitely challenging!
