"I have stayed in this property many times because of the location and the very attentive staff, but the property needs some work, it is outdated. Ice machines in many floors are out of order, Pool is never available, it has been closed for years now. Old carpets, weird smells in hallways."
"The rooms were very clean, and the staff was helpful! Only complaint is that the hallways made it feel like you were in a dungeon and very frequently smelled like marijuana."
"The staff at the restaurant especially Yahzmeen went above and beyond. I was starving, the evening I checked in, they made the food fast and gave me a free tea☺️. Customer service to the max!"
"Charming feel. Pleasant grounds. Love having the kitchen and the combo washer/dryer right in my room. Located on a lovely tree-lined street. Courteous and helpful staff. Clean. Some of the fit and finish is lacking where they installed the kitchen and bathroom amenities, but it hardly matters."
