Stay away
This was the worst experience I have ever had at a hotel. Provided credit card for incidentals which apparently didn't go through. Was woken up late at night saying that it needed to be fixed, we were in bed and asked if it could be dealt with in the morning. 7am wake up call to rudely tell us to come down and fix the problem. Room was prepaid so no fear of us skipping out. We said we would be down, then loud banging on door by security to evict us. My wife in the shower, two kids in room and treated like a criminal. Spoke to manager who said there would be a credit which never happened. Unbelievable experience.

Mad isnt the word
Hotel was nice clena decent location security on site. Only issue was we left for coffee. It was a walk across the street for 15 mins, and when we came back our room was open with the top saftey lock propping the door open. It was not check out time and we still havent recived an answer to why our room was asessed by personal before check out time.

Not the best hotel
The room itself wasn't bad. Not the cleanest, all the furniture in the room had some sort of damage. The bathroom was tiny. The shower looked like they tried to paint it and is now peeling. There was no hot water in the room. They gave us a key for another room to use and that also didn't have hot water. I don't recommend staying at this hotel. Maybe once they finish the renovations it will be better but it is not good right now

Hotel is under construction yet prices did not reflect this at all. Open ceiling tiles, unmarked parking areas and construction materials everywhere made the late check in frustrating. Bathroom had no toilet paper holder and roll in shower which we didn’t need but certainly important for some, just not us, and showers made the whole bathroom floor wet. Staff was friendly but at one point in the night someone tried to open our door and enter our room. My son had left the knob latch unlocked by accident and they were pushing full force. Thankfully he had closed the door latches. Hotel did not feel safe.

I never leave reviews, period. I have traveled in third world countries and stayed in youth hostels. This was worse. The hotel is not just dirty, it's filthy. Floors are gross with dust and dirt all over them. There was a half empty wine bottle on the floor of our room. Our room had clean linens and was quiet. I throughly checked for bed bugs are couldn't find any, thank god. The staff were friendly. The rooms had paper room numbers taped to the walls. One elevator was out with a sold out hotel. Panhandlers were in the lobby in the evening. The hotel is in a not so great area. Gym is under construction which is not mentioned anywhere until you get there. The neighborhood is not safe to run or walk in alone. Under construction. We paid $450 a night to stay there for the eclipse. Unbelievable. DO NOT STAY HERE!!
