I had a great experience Tawnshay
Cater was an amazing front desk lady she did a great job made us feel welcomed she was amazing with our kids let there was a game room and a scavenger hunt for the kids and they got prizes at the end this in a great place to take kids yea there’s no pool but who needs a pool when you can do scavenger hunts and win prizes and play in the game room and eat cookies and popcorn
For starters, the room was fine with the exception of no tissues in it. This hotel has no onsite parking ( it's across the street) and it's an additional $20( not terrible) In addition, it's seven floors with an ice machine on each floor, but only one had ice!(I hit all seven floors and finally found one!) At least there are plenty of restaurants, breweries and bars within walking distance.

The room was clean, the air conditioning kept the room a comfortable temperature, and the bed was also pretty comfortable. The fridge worked, but it froze some of our liquids. The doors are very thin and the ice machine for the floor was right outside our room, so I was woken up all hours of the night and morning by people getting ice. The WiFi was broken so the entire hotel’s “system” was down, which meant I had to write my full credit card number and other information on a piece of paper to leave with the front desk. I have no way to verify if that was kept secure. The hotel’s parking lot was closed so we had to park in the city lot, which cost $36 for one night. Overall, staying here was a positive experience and we would stay again. Best price in town, and within walking distance of everything we visited that night.

It was okay for one night stay. No parking lot next to hotel. Parking cost $15.00 across the street and the walkability to the lot was awful. Hotel staff was great. Room service was overpriced, food was not great and it was left in the lobby.
Clean room. Convenient location. Parking was super easy.

There was no breakfast at this hotel as advertised. I would definitely suggest checking the actual hotel website for up to date information. Also no gym on site. You had to walk to get there. We were in town for a volleyball tournament at the convention center and the location was worth the trouble of staying at a not so nice place.
We stayed here for 2 nights. Room was clean, building was in good condition. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful, however parking can be confusion as you have to park across street but overall it was a nice place to stay at a decent rate
straight forward stay comfy beds clean rooms…. no real amenities on site beside some vending machines in a game room, but close to everything downtown and the convention center reasonably priced.

Parking is across the street and is 19 dollars a day. We had a room on the 1st floor and it was clean and as described. It was a budget friendly hotel for downtown. No breakfast, just hot black coffee in the morning.

Check in was quick and easy. Room was spacious and not filled with a bunch of useless awkward furniture. Beds were comfortable, pillows were mid but not the worst.

Pictures on line showed a coffee machine in the lobby that didn't exist, which was disappointing. Check in process was frustrating, but the kindness of the person working the front desk made up for it!
Bed was super comfortable. Room was clean, air unit however a little noisy, but overall a very nice stay.

Parking was a bit strange, but not terrible. Room was not clean (old gloves, false eyelashes, etc), certain outlets weren't functioning, fridge temperature was way too high. For a short stay it was only mildly inconvenient. Staff was kind and helpful. Very affordable and served the desired purpose.
