Even worse

So... I stayed here a couple of weeks before and was not impressed, but decided to give it another shot because the location is convenient... but it was EVEN WORSE! The TV didn't work and I had to stand there for 15 minutes while the guy tried to fix it even though I asked after 10 if he could just move me to a different room. I want happy with the quality of the room a couple of weeks ago, but (again) this one was worse. I'll definitely be paying more for rooms and travel to where I need to go because this place isn't worth even the low price they charge.

Definitely will book again!

I booked this room as it was right across the street from the concert venue I was going to that night. The staff was super friendly and the Lobby was clean! The vending machine was decently stocked (I’d have LOVED an energy drink option but that’s just a personal preference). The room was decent, it either was or definitely had been a smoking room in the past as it had a little lingering smell but it wasn’t bothersome at all. The rooms are a little outdated but the bed was big and the pillows were comfy! I’ll absolutely book here every time I go to a show at The Van Buren, which is often!!

I wish I had not booked this place. The smell is pretty horrendous (smoke humidity mold) in the hallways and in the rooms, even if you let the window open. The shower gets clogged up after 30 seconds and you need your own personal electric cable to get the fan going. There were hairs on the bed when we arrive and there is no double lock on the door. Parking is easy but there were folks walking around and looking closely at our car.

Decent place that's clean and small but in an area that's slightly shady. Not the hotel's fault but still something to take into consideration

Overall, I would say that our stay exceeded our expectations. The property was safer than I expected, being across the street from a fire department and a major dance venue. I did not care for the person checking us in. The room was clean and the maid service excellent. We were given room 116. The room is directly opposite a security door that makes a horrendous noise. At first, we didn’t know what that noise was. I would strongly recommend that management fix the door so that it doesn’t sound like a cannon going off.

Nonsmoking room smelled like smoke and the a/c was terrible. We needed a room for about 8 hours before heading to the airport for a very early flight. The location was good for food options.
