I booked a king room and was put in a double bed room with no explanation. When I mentioned it to the front desk, I was told there was no king room available? You could hear people walking above the room and in the hall and hear people talking through the walls. Traffic was loud, and there’s a train nearby evidently. Needless to say we didn’t sleep well. Old and dingy feel and smell. Would not stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay so much. Every one was so nice and a very clean hotel. The breakfast buffet was satisfying and the convenience in and out mattered a lot. I loved being able to.walk to Starbucks early in the morning.
