"After seeing the great reviews of this place, I was a bit disappointed with my experience. Old hardened black gum stuck to the elevator floor and filthy looking hallway carpet next to my room and elevator on the 2nd floor. There are many other similar hotels in the area - maybe the reviews are relative - this place is better than those? Unsure...why others' experience was different than mine...certain the carpet didn't get heavily stained and filthy over night... My room was fine and clean. Breakfast was fine as well."
