Front desk at check-in said my room was upgraded (Expedia VIP perk) but it was not upgraded. It was the room I booked/paid for. One reason I chose the hotel was that it is an Expedia VIP hotel with free room upgrades when available. The guy didn’t even check. The hotel is showing its age. For example the plumbing leaves a little to be desired. Also the hallways were not particularly clean. For the price I was not satisfied with this hotel.

Comfortable stay, great location

Was a good stay and good value. Staff was great and the lobby was lovely. Great location with lots of services and all sorts of restaurants within walking distance. The area felt fairly safe and building was secure. Parking is covered and not secured, but very well lit. Property is under needed renovations - room a bit dated with paint peeling in the bathroom, but was very clean and comfortable.

Reno hell

Reno’s being done and no restaurants, all floors were dirty and elevator taken over by contractors. Rude contractors. Their first aid station n office was right across the hall from us. Worst stay ever. Should have been told about this before staying.
