The room was very clean and the breakfast was nice. Leanna at front dusk was very friendly. Location was perfect for German Village. There seemed to be a problem with TV network but it was reported and it was going to be checked out.

Stay was average, not great for the price. probably would not book here again. The room itself was located right next to the hotel elevator and it was dinging open and closed all through the night. The door had a large gap also. The shower was dirty with mold and the breakfast was cold and half cooked. The parking on property was limited. They also charge you an extra $100 for “incidentals” which is yet to be refunded to my card and not posted anywhere in the booking information.

This hotel was pretty decent, I was expecting the outside and lobby to be a little more upscale. The parking lot and entry had very limited space and parking costs but It was in an unsafe parking lot open to the public area downtown. Otherwise the room was nice and clean and the bed was comfortable. The staff was nice.

It was good. Bed was comfy. And room was very large. Toilet kept running unless I jiggled the handle a certain way. Fitness area is small but functional. It was perfect proximity to where I had to go and I’ll likely stay again in February.

It was a nice place- the one downside were the towels- old, thin and grey. An upgrade of the towels would be really helpful

This was a cheap hotel option, and the price reflects what you get. We stayed one night and it was acceptable. The room was clean but there were stains in the carpet and on furniture. Beds were clean and comfortable. We could clearly hear people going in and out of their rooms and walking in the hallway. We booked during a large music concert in the area, so there were probably more guests staying than usual, but even though I was given a parking pass for the lot, there were no available spaces and I ended up having to park on the side street overnight. We also had the complimentary breakfast and it was decent.
