There was no communication about the pool being under construction. Very disappointing considering that was exactly why I booked this specific hotel.

Things were fine except for the noise from traffic on the streets. Even at 3am the noise was awful. It seemed like perhaps a window was open and that was why it was so loud! I got up and checked the windows. Not open. But I was unable to get a decent sleep either night of my stay.

The rooftop deck and pool were closed, but the gym (small as it was) was open. The gym was ok. Nice set of weights, a few treadmills and an elliptical. One exercise bike. But the property was nice, less expensive than most other hotels in the area, but still near everything. The staff were really wonderful. The front desk guy got me a fridge after the first night and also gave me a later checkout. Nice lounge area and attached restaurant. Room was very nice. Clean, good view, quiet. You do have to go outside to get the elevators to the rooms, but that’s ok. It’s only for a few seconds and it’s in a covered area. Overall, a great stay. I would recommend to anyone who wants to be near the action but still save a little money.

⭐ 1/5 — Extremely Disappointing & Overpriced Very disappointing experience. The pool was out of service, and construction around the pool made the already tiny, minimally equipped fitness area difficult to use. Our room had cracks and peeling on the ceiling, and the elevator was tiny with a broken fan, cracked ceiling, and did not properly connect to our floor—making luggage and a stroller extremely difficult to manage. Breakfast was served cold, and the hotel refused to provide bedding for the sofa sleeper. Our room also faced heavy traffic noise that continued throughout the night. The property is very outdated and looks significantly different from the online photos. Overall, this hotel was overpriced and underwhelming, with poor maintenance, limited amenities, and disappointing service. I would not stay here again.

Great value, great location. We loved the pool and had it to ourselves. Every staff member was friendly from the pool guy to front desk. Wallace in particular was very helpful and friendly.
