Starting at check in, I felt that my husband and I were not treated as guests. When asking about guest parking for our visitor for a couple hours, we were first told there was none. When we specified that we are staying in the hotel, they confirmed multiple times “and you’re parked here?” To which we responded yes. They then asked for my room number, last name, and proceeded to tell me there was no parking for my guest. Additionally, there was a pending hold placed on my account without notification or reasoning. When I called to inquire, they said if I didn’t check out with the front desk, the charge wouldn’t be reversed. This doesn’t make sense as I didn’t even have to check in with the front desk. The breakfast was cold and the coffee dispenser was empty at 9am. We paid to stay here and I felt as if we were a nuisance.

Great location, very old and run down hotel. Elevators were mostly broken and took several minutes to arrive (there was a sign about repairs but according to other guests, the signs that repairs were taking place were put up 3 months ago). Rooms were reasonable but were repaired here and there with rough patches. The hotel would profit from some repairs overall but the location is great. There was no room service during the 3 days that I stayed. So in short, great location, high price but run down hotel.

I'd love to give this property a review. Unfortunately, after being dropped off at the hotel after dark, and with a large suitcase, I was informed they had overbooked their rooms, and no longer has a room available for me. The desk manager gave me a piece of paper, and instructed me to walk to the Residence Inn, a couple of blocks away. They had secured a room for me there. I was shocked. He wanted me to walk with my suitcase, in the dark, rainy night, to another hotel. Seeing my hesitation, he offered to make the security guard (who was employed by a security company and who's job was to watch and guard the front of the hotel) walk with me. The guard tried to protest that he could get in trouble, but the manager insisted, So away we went. (I did give the poor security guard a generous tip.) At the end of the day, it wasn't that big of a deal, and certainly the hotel I stayed at was very nice, if a bit farther from the restaurant I had reservations at. I think if he had offered a shuttle to the other hotel, I wouldn't have been as upset, but just telling me to be on my way then when I'm traveling and expecting to finally check in, sit down, and relax was unsettling, at best.
