2/10 Poor

There is nothing special that I remember about this hotel but what made me so much disappointed with the stay that there was problem with shower . No Hot water, also no hot water coming in the shank. There was drainage problem in my wash room. I paid for 3 nights in advance but every next day my room key stop working for which I need to request them to send someone to my room for which I had to wait a long many times just kept staying outside my room. Horrible stay.

Low class hotel, pretty low class.
Pretty low class hotel. Even for my "non high maintenance" standards. Sheets and towels were dingy, stuff on wall was broken. Access was difficult --location because of traffic was nightmare. Really need to think twice before heading here to see if you can afford something a little bit more expensive. The good news is/was the staff is very responsive and eager to please. My second reservation did not come through from Hotels.com so that could have happened smoother.

There had no reservations made. I do not like what happened. Do you know what it is like to be in a strange place and no room at 10pm

Average hotel
The hotel is located right in the center of town and the noise in the morning and during the day can be disturbing. It is a nice hotel for transit only. The staff were very helpful.
