No Sleep for the weary
Front desk people very courteous. Unfortunately, our room faced the street which was very loud hearing cars, trolly until late. Then every time the room above used a shower our room sounded like a jack hammer. Early in the morning waking us up and late in the evening. To our knowledge, no one ever came to check on it.

Okay hotel
Hotel is okay. Great location by campus. Older hotel that has been updated but needs a new update. Not a lot of food or car options nearby. Restaurant inside has limited options.

Stay somewhere else
Hotel was ok. Bathroom was old and dirty. Tile was unacceptably gross.
Carpet in room was old gross and wrinkled.
My shower failed this morning as I was running out the door. No cold water so it was basically no pressure of scalding hot water. Could not shower before my business meeting today will not be back to this property.

This hotel looks very dated with the low ceilings so it felt a little claustophic in the hallways. My room didn't have any hand soap by the sink so I had to reach into the shower when I needed to wash my hands. There was extremely limited counter space, but it did have some shelves to put items on which helped eliminate the problem.
I ate dinner in the onsite restaurant on Friday evening. The food was delicious but it was pretty pricey for a side salad and 2 taquitos ($25.00) There was only one person working both the bar and table tops so the poor girl was running like crazy. The live singer was nice to sit and listen to while eating dinner.

Great location. We love staying there. Wonderful customer service. They go above and beyond. Carpet in room was old and wearing out so they need to probably replace. Comfortable beds and daily room cleaning was nice.

Meh
The stay was decent overall. The room was clean, but the hotel could improve by offering more amenities like a complimentary coffee bar or free bottled water. Additionally, I found the beds to be a bit uncomfortable.

6 Oct 2024
Outdated hotel. It needs a lot of work.
Hotel needs to do some serious renovations and upgrades. Shower only has hot water and when trying to get it cooler goes to cold. No in between. The pipes were loud. No phone outlets. Only 2 accessible outlets for plugs only. Shampoo/conditioner was low. Told front desk but they never came to refill them. Restaurant has poor service and food menu is not appealing. Tables needed to be clean. Will not go there again.
