If you enjoy being woken up at 11:15 at night by a stranger trying to open up your door and thanks to the safety lock they couldn’t get in, then this is the hotel for you. I confronted the front desk and they acted like it wasn’t a big deal. They told me I wasn’t on the paperwork for that room so they made a key to try to enter at 11:15 at night. Also this rooms ac panel didn’t work and the shower didn’t have a curtain so I just showered and let the water fly everywhere. Don’t stay here.

Absolutely love this hotel. Location was perfect. Came into the city and waited until last min to find a place and everything on the outskirts of the city was well over 275++. Surprised I was able to call hotel directly and got a better rate than all the diac apps.
Breakfast was also very very good and all the staff were friendly and genuinely wanted to make sure everything was OK. I will definitely come back.

Not clean for me. I changed my first room because it wasn't vacuumed. In the second room, all towels had stains or hair on them. There were spots everywhere. They didn't clean my room; they just changed the towels.
