I was traveling with my disabled sister and had reserved a room with an accessible shower because she is basically immobile. Upon arrival, I was told that the room I had reserved was no longer available because the people who had stayed in it the night before had extended their stay one more night. The hotel policy is that people who are already in a room have priority over those who have booked it. Consequently, there were no other accessible rooms available for three people so we stayed in one without an accessible shower. This is an unacceptable policy.

This hotel needs to be updated. The rooms are ok and clean but the bedding comforter came apart. The refrigerator had food from the previous people. Complimentary snacks were nice. The elevator needs to be fixed. Its under construction and while the sign said they're "working on it" given the graffiti on the foam board its been like that a long time. You can hear airplanes rev their engines and trains through the windows. The staff was very friendly.

The hotel is next to 6 sets of train tracks and a road train track crossing with all of its bells and whistles. Literally all hours of the day trains go by the hotel. We could hear the trains and the bells from the crossing all the time in the middle of the night.

The best I can say about this hotel is that it is adequate. The lobby and breakfast area chairs are gross, stained and old. The breakfast buffet is plentiful and the staff do a great job keeping it replenished. The front desk staff were nice and professional. Some floors are remodeled and we were in remodeled rooms which were nice and clean but others we know we’re staying on an unrenovated floor and those rooms were pretty bad. The biggest issues with this hotel are: 1) there is no disclaimer that this hotel is an active construction zone. Hammering and drilling all day, even on Sunday, and three of the four days we were there, the water was turned off between 2pm-5pm! 2) the hotel is close to the airport and right next to the train and light rail. The crossbars and alarms for the train tracks would ding every 10 minutes starting at 4am, the train came through on a regular basis blowing the horn and the planes start taking off right over the hotel at 6am. The front desk offered us noise machines for the room because there is nothing that can be done with this. Overall location is great, but I would not stay here again or recommend it to others.

This is an older property that is in the process of being remodeled, but as a result the property often has only one elevator operating. Also, the property is located close to a train and trolley station, so there is always a lot of noise.
