I read a lot of bad reviews but glad I still decided to stay there. Great location and really nice people on staff, all working hard and together. Their jobs are made more difficult because of the amount of physical improvements needed in the building and infrastructure. It appears that management is making improvements. I’m not someone who travels because I want a super hotel experience; I just need the basics and a good nightly rate. The worst thing about it is the elevator. At best it should be a behind-the-scenes service elevator. The next time I stay there I am going to ask for a room on the 3rd or 4th floor and just use the stairs most of the time. I most likely will stay there again.

This hotel is really terrible. The location is great, but it is rundown, has a single elevator that is slow and old and a single staircase. Could well be dangerous. They didn’t have enough keys to give us each one and there was no room for anything except the bed in the room. Not a chair. Not a desk. Nothing. The windows were filthy. The carpets in the hall were terribly stained and disgusting. The pictures on the website are not accurate. We never would have booked if they had been representative of the hotel in its current state.
