I think it the property will be great once renovations are complete. However, very difficult stay with renovations in process. Old rooms very rough conditions- smell, dirty, very dated, etc. New rooms had limited voltage, no irons, curling irons, hair dryer, etc. Hopefully this is temporary, given remodel activity. Location is great but a very tough stay. Friendly staff.

My mistake for renting this room to be closer to my daughters apartment. It stinks. Literally. And the actual room had the overwhelming smell of a very bad air freshener that made me think they were covering up a bad odor. I moved out immediately and slept on my daughter’s couch. Never again.

This property overbooked the rooms on a football game weekend where the rooms were inflated to $900/nt. They offered to accommodate 8 people into 4 king rooms rather than 2 double queen rooms but were requiring us to pay even more for the additional rooms needed due to their negligence. The staff was rude and ultimately cancelled the reservation all together when we argued that we should not be charged more to accommodate our group.
