This place is a dump. We just arrived 2 hours ago and I already want to leave. Staff is friendly. Rooms and hotel in general are gross. Furniture in rooms is old and missing pieces. Bathroom is old and disgusting looking. Tv is from 1900. The doorknob to the bathroom is literally taped on. Never staying here again.

This hotel had quite an array of unlikeable things that would not make me stay here an additional time. 1. No parking at the hotel, there is a small lot to park in while you check in but then you have to drive a block away to park. 2. We asked for an extra pillow on 3 different occasions, the... More

Looks and names can be deceiving. This hotel is anything but the description on the site or its name. A strange smell in the lobby and a dirty (sticky) elevator welcome you. There is a godawful noisy bar located on the ground floor that "entertains" every guest until way past midnight with loud music and sometimes even louder guests. Not... More

The reception was all smiles! She had us park our bike right in front and gave us a special parking permit to do so. Brand new carpet and paint. The room was very clean. The furniture is worn. They should replace the beds next. Excellent location too! Right across from the Raven Restaurant! Which is biker friendly too! Listen. You... More

When you approach the hotel it looks pretty good from the outside until you step into the lobby and all you can say is wow what a dump. We were supposed to stay 4 nights, but only stayed one, room was clean enough but the hotel is very old and needs some renovations to bring it up to the 21st... More

I booked here due to a wedding. It was the weekend of the Shamrock Marathon, so hotels were booked nearly solid. We arrived a little early, and were allowed to check in. The lady at the front desk was all business, and not much about fluff. Parking is a little ways from the hotel itself ( Across the street and... More
