We had two rooms, one of which was so dirty upon check in that my MIL had to clean it herself since the cleaning crew had already left for the day. We were promised a proper cleaning for our second night but that didn't happen, nor did the promised compensation for the inconvenience.

I liked the quiet. Bed was very comfortable. As a senior citizen and female, I recommend a mirror in the bedroom, a handhold or two in the bathroom and a large comfortable cushion on the sofa. The cushion is to permit sitting sideways to face the TV

The staff was incredibly nice and very helpful. Location is very nice, lots of restaurants and such nearby. Everything is relatively clean, maybe could use a deep cleaning in some of the nooks & crannies in the living room area. My sister slept on the couch bed and said that the walls were paper thin, so she was kept up pretty late. Otherwise a very good experience.

I was disappointed with the property and room given the price point. Carpet did not look like it was vacuumed, furniture was dated, no elevator with a heavier suitcase (although the gentleman did offer to carry it up the stairs for me). I would not stay here again at the price I paid.

The recepionist was friendy and helpful. Parking is tight and on the street or half on the sidewalk. No breakfast at the hotel. TV was poor / poor reception and limited channels. Lots of space in the room for one person if staying longer than 2 nights. Clean overall and its a smaller hotel than I thought from their website.
