Aaron J, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Staff was very nice and accommodating. But the hotel was old, looked like it hadn’t been updated since the 70’s. Carpet in hallways were dirty and in some places had a funky smell. I give the staff kudos for being so nice and friendly in a tough kinda place.
robert, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

I liked the breakfasr and it was near downtown. I didn't like the one elevator to get down. I didn't like that the pool looked dated. I loved the room. Was relieved it was comfortable, clean and pretty.
Suzy, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Staff were nice, but this place should be torn down. Very worn out and needs a lot maintenance. Seedy neighborhood and obvious sex workers in the lobby/elevators.
