This hotel is centrally located. They did not have any upgrades available and no early check in although they could hold our luggage. They actually didn't even have our rooms ready at the 4pm check in time either. The rooms were fairly clean. Their water pressure and drainage in the showers were terrible. The rooms also do not have any air conditioners so they gave us fans. I wouldn't stay here in the summer if you can't handle the heat.
