Pretty good all round for a comparatively inexpensive hotel room. Nice front patio for food and drinks. The included breakfast is at a different hotel a few blocks to the south, and was decent. Check in was decidedly not good. The clerk was rude and tried to scam us into paying an additional amount saying the room had not been paid for, which it had been, in full, in advance.

My room was dated. I really expected more. To get to my room I had to go through a garden area and an ice parlor, which was really weird. The elevator was dated and iffy. My sister stayed in a different part of the hotel and couldn't believe what this part of the hotel consisted of. The restaurant had really good food and the location is awesome.

Everything including the staff. The young lady that checked me i. Was AWESOME was very clear about everything for my whole stay. I wanted to thank her when I checked out, but unfortunately she was not working that day. The only downside was the pool. It doesn’t seem like it has ever been cleaned. You see the residue around the pool, like a dirty tub. It’s obvious they dont clean it. That was the only downer for the stay
