Had a great stay at this budget hotel. The staff were very kind and quickly helped us when we needed any amenities replaced. Convenient location within walking distance to the convention center. The room was clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. Staff were able to match online prices when I needed to extend my stay. Some reviews mention it being in a sketchy area, but I did not experience anything unpleasant while staying here. The few complaints I have are that the shower door (which made a VERY loud squeaking sound) didn't properly close all the way so water would sometimes splash out and the parking was very limited and full by 5pm if you stay here during a busy weekend. Overall I highly recommend this hotel and would stay again!

Jewel of a find

The price point is impressive. Not glamorous on the exterior, but kind check-in man and quiet, clean and free parking/wi-fi. Plenty of towels, refrigerator, microwave - much appreciated when trying to be economical and solo female.

So pleasantly surprised for this price and location. Clean, comfy, and kitch. Other hotels spend and charge big bucks to create the the fun retro vibe this “hole-in-the-wall” gem comes by naturally. Will definitely stay here again!

I had a great experience here! Check in was super easy and everyone was SO nice! My housekeeper was super quick, as she would stop in when I was in the room. She made sure everything was stocked and even found some decaf coffee for me, when I mentioned I couldn’t do caffeine. The parking lot is small, yet I found a perfect spot near my room each night without issue. There is a little construction noise from across the street right now, but it was not a huge deal and never went on too early or too late. I found everything I needed was very close by and even walked to a restaurant about two blocks away. It is a bit outdated, but the cleanliness and friendliness of everyone matters more to me. The bathroom/shower was completely new and all my linens smelled freshly laundered. Honestly one of the cleanest places I’ve stayed at in recent years. My room also came with a brand new fridge and microwave, they still had the sterile tape on parts. They were super cute and retro looking. I would come here again, without a doubt. Oh, and the parking is FREE.
