The hotel is older and dated but that wasn’t a problem. The room was clean but we were put in the third floor room which had a balcony with lights that were left on all night. The glass door to the balcony had thin, flimsy blinds, and there was no way to block the light. The room is brightly illuminated the entire night, making it very difficult to sleep. There was no way to turn it off or darken the room at all. It was like sleeping with the lights on and it was HORRIBLE. I got so little sleep, I’ll never stay there again.
Really cute property, pretty loud because it's right on the major street but that makes it very convenient and walkable. Management gave us a bit of a problem because of false information on their site. We also booked a room with 1 queen bed but they insisted it was 2--not complaining though, the views were great
The rooms are in much need of a refurbishing but it was clean. My bed didn’t have a fitted sheet, just a flat sheet laid over a plastic cover. The tv played only CNN. I tried to call the front desk several times but no one answered. It was ok for two nights and was a short 6-7 min walk to the convention center.

Cute, and showing it's age in little ways. The place has character, in a good way. Room was clean, location was great, I enjoyed my stay.
The manager there is rude both in person and over the phone. She cuts you off when you are talking, doesn't answer the phone in a friendly way whatsoever. She needs to take a class on how to provide better customer service. Never staying here again. Save yourself the time and money and don't stay here.
Room was disgusting. Sheets were paper thin with holes in them, hairs all over the sink, bathroom inside the sheets. You could tell someone had just finished using the bathroom because the toilet paper roll was jaggedly ripped and mostly gone.
We left…abandoned the room and booked another room somewhere else. So disappointed.
This place is a nightmare the property is in very poor condition the service is horrible we had the worst experience ever we where the literally for 13 minutes we check in go to our room I was going to take a nap while my wife showered when I pull out the sheets there was 5 different hairs on the white sheet and the pillow covers then I pull out the rest of the blanket and there is make up on the sheets spoke to the "Manager " she tells me I can leave the property when in reality I was going to do that I'd be crazy to stay there the worst place to stay DO NOT STAY HERE?

Shabby outside, fresh inside
The room was fine, the outdoor upkeep up the hotel was degraded. Need new paint, paving, re-landscaping. Looks like a novel outside, but it’s deceiving my run down looking. The room was absolutely refurbished, clean and modern.
