They’re renovating the place so all the broken furniture is out side which seemed very iffy. Our view was a dumpster. The water pressure was sad. The hallways and room smelled like very strong paint.

I recently stayed at this property for a concert nearby, and while there were a few positive aspects, the experience overall was disappointing. The staff were genuinely nice and friendly, they greeted me warmly and were always willing to help, which I really appreciated. Unfortunately, the room itself didn’t live up to expectations. The photos online were quite misleading; the space looked much more modern and well-kept in the pictures than it did in person. When I arrived, the room wasn’t very clean, which was frustrating after a long day of traveling. With some improvements to cleanliness, more accurate photos and the remodeling they seem to be doing, this could be a great place to stay, but as it stands, it fell short of what was advertised.
