Such a very nice hotel that needs renovation and take out the tubs. Looks 80 retro and way too dark in rooms and hallways. Exterior is very nice. Has plumbing issues also. No staff on duty.

Hotel Derek is being closed down. And yet it is somehow still available to reserve? No amenities are available, there were hardly any workers, everything was dirty, it smelled so bad, there was a bandaid in the refrigerator, the bathtub would not drain. Everything was in terrible condition and it should not be available to guests.

This property was out dated. The pictures did not represent the property. The pillows were hard and flat, the bed was hard. No stop or body wash. No black out curtains. Fridge in room didn't work. No amenities available, but they didn't email until it was too late to cancel. This was NOT a 4 star experience.
