Had to change room night of arrival. Toilet did not work. Front desk unresponsive. Unauthorized charge appeared. Had to chase front desk to get a commitment to fix. In general Front Desk seemed less than competent. I am not usually a complainer.

Not the best hotel
The room itself wasn't bad. Not the cleanest, all the furniture in the room had some sort of damage. The bathroom was tiny. The shower looked like they tried to paint it and is now peeling. There was no hot water in the room. They gave us a key for another room to use and that also didn't have hot water. I don't recommend staying at this hotel. Maybe once they finish the renovations it will be better but it is not good right now

Hotel is under construction yet prices did not reflect this at all. Open ceiling tiles, unmarked parking areas and construction materials everywhere made the late check in frustrating. Bathroom had no toilet paper holder and roll in shower which we didn’t need but certainly important for some, just not us, and showers made the whole bathroom floor wet. Staff was friendly but at one point in the night someone tried to open our door and enter our room. My son had left the knob latch unlocked by accident and they were pushing full force. Thankfully he had closed the door latches. Hotel did not feel safe.

I never leave reviews, period. I have traveled in third world countries and stayed in youth hostels. This was worse. The hotel is not just dirty, it's filthy. Floors are gross with dust and dirt all over them. There was a half empty wine bottle on the floor of our room. Our room had clean linens and was quiet. I throughly checked for bed bugs are couldn't find any, thank god. The staff were friendly. The rooms had paper room numbers taped to the walls. One elevator was out with a sold out hotel. Panhandlers were in the lobby in the evening. The hotel is in a not so great area. Gym is under construction which is not mentioned anywhere until you get there. The neighborhood is not safe to run or walk in alone. Under construction. We paid $450 a night to stay there for the eclipse. Unbelievable. DO NOT STAY HERE!!

Disappointing stay
Hotel was under some construction. No hot water in shower on morning of Wednesday, April 3. ... Also, no fault of the hotel, but very disappointing that there are few stores open in the vicinity of the restaurant. Very few coffee shops, stors, bars or restaurants in walking distance.
