Summary of reviews
Guests say
Guests appreciated the great location and friendly staff, particularly highlighting the shuttle service and comfortable beds. However, many reviews pointed out significant cleanliness issues, including bugs, ants, and stained towels, which detracted from their overall experience. The restaurant food quality and wifi connectivity were also noted as areas needing improvement.AI-generated from customer reviews

Pros (+) Staff very helpful
Cons (-) Everything under construction, lamp broken, dirt and smashed bugs on walls, navigating to room through hanging plastic, windows blocked out. The online info for the hotel indicates a luxurious property which is miles from the truth. We did complain and did receive a small discount but the experience was dismal.
Pros (+) They staff were very apologetic and did their best to provide great service despite the fact that this hotel is a dated crumbling relic - it has been purchased by a hotel group and it will be unrecognizable - completely transformed and beautiful when it's finished.
Cons (-) We never would havbooked there had we known the state of the reno, we were advised there were renovations but this is far beyond what we expected. it's surprising it's open right now considering the scale of renovation. The pool and whirlpool were drained which was disappointing. But the beds and pillows were fantastic and we slept well.
Cons (-) Not advertised that it was under renovation. Way too expensive for the quality. Window covered by plastic due to renovations. Bedding was dirty.
Pros (+) Low price, easy access to express way
Cons (-) Wet carpet, power kept going out, dirty bedding,
Pros (+) not much..bad location
Cons (-) rooms smelly..floor smelly..understaffed..bad location..no directions for sleep number bed
Pros (+) Very clean rooms - great pool
Pros (+) Housekeeping was amazing, very clean rooms and pleasant staff
Cons (-) Television channels were limited Sleep number bed remotes didn't work in room 601 Microwave plate should be adjusted in room 601
Pros (+) The hotel is super close to downtown and has a free shuttle service that you can reserve up to a half hour in advance. Our bed was comfy too. Checking in and out was easy. Right next to the expressway.
Cons (-) Our room didn't have a phone, which was weird, and one of the lightbulbs in the bathroom was burned out.
Pros (+) I liked being close to the river and downtown.
Cons (-) I plopped down on the bed when I got in the room and found 4 hairs. . . not my own. One was a pubic hair! They sent a maintenance guy to change the sheets and we helped him change them. The pillows were the worst pillows I have ever seen. Totally lumpy foam.
