Liked the large room with two couches plus bed. The place seemed run down. Too few staff, kind of gloomy, lobby not attractive. We asked for help with the TV and no one ever came. Great location, but the place seemed to have seen better days. Would not return.

Liked: Staff & service
room was clean as any other place I've stayed at. Employees were doing a good job. But, the computer was down when we arrived and caused us quite some delay because we had not payed in advance. We ended up using Expedia and resolved all issues at the front desk. But then there was a power outage in the city and it included the motel. The back up generator took about 15 minutes to kick in which is no problem HOWEVER, during that time there was no emergency lighting, no stairwell lighting and no hallway emergency lighting. Fortunately everyone has a flashlight on their cell phone. So, I think the emergency lighting should be much quicker and the exit signs should be battery backup. Otherwise all went very well. NOTE, I would expect that all motels have the same or even much worse issues during power outages. Yes I would stay here again.

Convenient yet uncomfortable

Great location and nice basic rooms with a water pressure for the shower. Issue is the air-conditioning. Despite being set at lowest seting and highest fan output, rooms run warm.

The property is very old and dated. Meaning no matter how much they clean it you still don't want to use anything.

Overall ok, however no Green Stay option for room service and although room was cleaned bed not properly remade. Little shop not open and no tea or coffee available in reception. Room a little 'tired'. Plus side friendly and helpful staff, great breakfast and close to Metro.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
I have never in all my years of traveling, 50 plus, posted a negative review. Unfortunately, I find it necessary to do so now. I must say that even when I have traveled abroad I never experienced lack of hot water to shower. I stayed in this hotel for 2 night at over $200 a night and had to take cold showers. Absolutely unacceptable. When the front desk was notified they remarked that the entire hotel was experiencing the same problem. I did not expect a total refund but some compensation should have been received. I would not recommend this facility unless and until they get their act together. The water situation was not the only thing that was not up to par but it definitely was the most unacceptable.
