Short weekend stay a few minutes from downtown.

Hotel was older with updates but still showed signs of age. Easy and friendly check-in. Nice overall public space updates. Stayed in a double room. Air conditioning worked well and bed was comfortable. But the room had thin walls/doors that allowed sound transfer to/from hallway. Room smelled musty probably because the carpet was old. Room had basic amenities but the water pressure flow was very high. Should probably upgrade toilet and shower head to make them more waterwise. Free breakfast was basic but free. Parking was easy but not free. Overall stay was expected for the price. Would consider staying here again.

The property is starting to show it's age. The Wi-Fi was awful and I had to use my phone for my Zoom meeting because the Wi-Fi kept booting me off. The only solution was to move me to a different room closer to the lobby or have my 3 hour meeting in the lobby where I'd be competing with the loud music and other guests. I had multiple difficulties with my key card in the elevator and accessing my room. I used the stairs A LOT!
