Great for fair price
Room was clean and quiet. The air conditioning worked well and everything was as expected. The breakfast appeared adequate but not fancy. It’s a block from a really nice breakfast restaurant that was amazing so we didn’t actually eat there. I would stay there again.

Good, but small rooms
Overall good stay. Probably wouldn't stay again only because room was so small. We requested a queen bed, but felt like a full size. This is fine for 1 person.

We were given an upgrade.
The room had a damp feel. The sofa looked stained. The toilet shower are was very claustrophobic.
The bed was comfortable.

Bed bugs in the bed and checking customers in
It was absolutely horrible, they refuse to give me another room knowing that room has bedbugs and is trash.

Will stay again
Staff was helpful and friendly. I was staying here for business but was also able to have family come and visit. Walking into the lobby, there is a terrific smell. I spent 4 nights and decided to get a larger room with a sofa and mini kitchen. We stay here usually 2 - 3 times a year. They also accept pets for a charge.
The only place I found to be somewhat dirty was the elevator carpet. Otherwise the hotel was great!
