Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Neighbourhood is quite rough, especially in two directions from the hotel. Room had no A/C and having the window open didn’t do much but allow the noise in. Even though it wasn’t hot outside, the room was too warm. If you have a car, parking is limited and expensive. Room had minimal power points. It did have plenty of drawers for clothes and a walk in wardrobe.

The hotel is too old. You can walk and hear the wood floors cracking. No water pressure, the elevator is not working properly. Parking is too expensive.

Can’t beat this location.
This hotel is all about location. It’s an older facility with limited amenities, but the staff is super helpful and the rooms are comfortable. It’s near EVERYTHING. I definitely plan to stay here again.

Hotel is in a horrible location that is riddled with homeless and drug users. As I was walking I could literally see the drugs being used right on the street, not to mention the urine and feces on the pavement. I was in town for one night only or I would have definitely left the hotel and or the area. According to a gentleman outside measuring the entire building is in Escrow and will be sold soon. DO NOT STAY IN THIS AREA if you expect safe/ clean.
