Short weekend stay a few minutes from downtown.

Hotel was older with updates but still showed signs of age. Easy and friendly check-in. Nice overall public space updates. Stayed in a double room. Air conditioning worked well and bed was comfortable. But the room had thin walls/doors that allowed sound transfer to/from hallway. Room smelled musty probably because the carpet was old. Room had basic amenities but the water pressure flow was very high. Should probably upgrade toilet and shower head to make them more waterwise. Free breakfast was basic but free. Parking was easy but not free. Overall stay was expected for the price. Would consider staying here again.

The property is starting to show it's age. The Wi-Fi was awful and I had to use my phone for my Zoom meeting because the Wi-Fi kept booting me off. The only solution was to move me to a different room closer to the lobby or have my 3 hour meeting in the lobby where I'd be competing with the loud music and other guests. I had multiple difficulties with my key card in the elevator and accessing my room. I used the stairs A LOT!

Prepared to hate it but I was wrong

After reading some horrendous reviews I was prepared to hate this place. First impressions from the outside were pretty depressing. Once in the lobby there was a strong feeling of ennui behind the counter but as I chatted with the desk person the mood lightened and it was ok. Check in went smoothly. I was asked if I wanted first or second floor. And then the surprise bummer: parking is $15.00 and is underground. Desk assured me it was patrolled regularly but I’ll tell you the garage is a confusing maze of compact car only spots or reserved for frequent users so by the time I parked I was on the opposite end from where my room was (eventually) located. I think in the dark it might be intimidating for solo female travelers. It’s a sketchy looking garage. Listen, this isn’t a deluxe hotel. It’s not a destination city. Free parking, especially given guests have to park underground, find the elevator and walk walk walk to find their room, isn’t too much to ask. My room however was great. Comfortable bed, neat as a pin, soundproof and miracle of miracles, no airport-quality lighting in the parking lot. I want the room DARK when I turn out the lights and the normal outdoor lighting was pleasant. I’m not landing a plane here, I don’t need lighting too bright. It was very nice. I’d stay there again.
