Joseph, May 2017
Cons (-) Our room on the 16th floor which had a great view was right next to the elevator motors. One or more of the elevator motors had bad bearings or a worn armature as there were a constant hum and winding sound similar to a low police siren. We could not move due to the Hotel being full.

ashlovesdior, Jul 2015
Pros (+) The location was very convienent. I chose to park down the street and save $30 for over night parking. Nice pillows and comfy bed.
Cons (-) This hotel is really small the room was giving me an allegric reactions I could not breath, until we forced the window open. The shower curtain and shower smelled really bad. That was gross. I will not be staying here again.
