Room was much smaller than the photos led us the believe. AC only worked sporadically. Pet odor (dog?) when we checked in. Exterior needs serious maintenance. No elevators, all exterior hallways. Front desk staff was nice. Breakfast was stale packaged food. The price of the room was much higher when we booked than the day of, no price adjustment given. All and all, this place is a motel with a half-hearted reno on decorative elements of the rooms, the exterior was a mess. Few amenities. Value for the price was terrible.
