No frills but perfectly serviceable property. Clean. Dated but well maintained overall - lack of carpeting in hallways amplifies the noise. Front desk staff generally disinterested. Parking not an issue but covered spaces under the building (surface level) can be super tight so just be aware if you are driving an SUV or larger vehicle.

This is usually our go to when we visit our son. Not sure if allowing dogs is new as we never saw before but there was a dog that barked from 5am to the time of us checking out at 6:30 am where we decided to leave! bc it was barking so loud across from our room! Who wants to hear that. Told the front desk and apparantly we weren’t the only ones to complain. How is this ok? Dissapointed in our old faithful.

The room was cleaner than many 5-star hotels (baseboards, walls, ceiling, corners and crevices. The bed was comfortable. Unfortunately, the wall are extremely, extremely thin.

The room was infested with roaches. Had to wake up at 3am to catch a flight, didn't even take a shower. I've never seen anything like this even at the cheapest motels. Roaches everywhere: kitchen, shower.
