Check in was chaotic. Quoted the wrong rate. Team was less than accommodating. No new towels. Bed was comfortable in spite of cheap sheets. Not worth the price at all. The workers should be retrained on how to treat guests.

Summary of reviews
Guests say
Guests appreciated the great location and friendly staff, making it a fun place to stay. However, many reviews highlighted issues with noise levels, small room sizes, and additional fees that detracted from the overall experience. Some guests also mentioned cleanliness and the lack of amenities like coffee in the rooms as areas for improvement.AI-generated from customer reviews

Pros (+) Brand new and clean.
Cons (-) Amenities need help. No coffee in the room, no information in the room about hotel offerings. Despite massive empty wall in front of bed the TV was on a small table to the side if the bed. No drawers in the room. No windows. Loud...drilling at 8AM. Parking at $20/night was crazy so I paid street parking for $2. Just meh overall, expected more for the price.
