6/10 Good

Great location. Staff was very nice.room definitely needs some work. Wallpaper was peeling, tears n the carpet, electrical burns on an outlet, doors to closet were broken. Lots of little things that really need to be fixed. Great location - would possibly try again but would also look elsewhere.
Leo, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

The beds and linens are really uncomfortable. Ive stayed in a king room before and it was comfortable, but the double beds were like sleeping on dorm beds. The room shows major signs of wear and tear, literal tear. I've stayed in several rooms at this hotel and they all look shabby.
Katy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

My favorite hotel!!!
Curvie, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff was very friend and helpful. The room was comfortable. Would have been nice to have more drawers. The bathroom needs updating - the curtain barely reaches the tub so water would get out during showers; the shoer would drip for 20+mins after turning off; sink took a long time to drain; shower/tub has rust color stained on the ledge (makes it look dirty)
Rita, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location. The 2nd room was very quiet. The room was very dark, and the carpet always seemed a little damp.
Ian, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The rooftop bar was amazing.

6/10 Good

The cleaning staff kept offering us towels, so they were great. Front desk was helpful too, but I needed one extra hour past checkout, and they only granted me 1/2 hour , and this is midweek, so I felt that they could’ve done more. Nice that this hotel gives you water bottles. The rooms are knicked up and there is no place for luggage or your toiletry items. I picked this hotel solely on location. It is average, not great, not terrible.
Mary, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice Hotel

Spent a couple nights here to drop of my child to college nearby. The hotel has an old-school charm which might not appeal to everyone but it was a great location, rooms were clean and the entire staff was excellent. Will stay here again. Having a drink on the roof top bar was nice.
