Booked a room for Valentine’s Day, ended up staying in what appeared to be a poorly remodeled hotel room. Definitely was not worth the price. The room looked completely different than the ones posted online. Towels appeared to be worn, raggedy and well past their time. Is a cool idea but not worth it.

The floors were extremely dirty. This is the same issue that I observed on others reviews. Management should address this. And for the customers, bring your own mop and bucket.

Property is pretty old. Bedroom and bathrooms were ok. Other room in the "family suite" was odd. Lighting terrible. Just overhead light and no lamps in the sitting area. Outside there were several areas for sitting but the furniture was old and dirty. Breakfast was good. However, conveniently located at a trolly stop. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

On arrival was told to leave $100 deposit for a room why the room that we received was moldy filthy it was disgusting. Had a headache after half an hour being in the room asked to get a different room which was much better except for it was filthy dirty The amount of money you pay for a room you should expect it to be clean and when you need a deposit, it should be stated when you book the room will never stay there again

Our room was nicely updated but the exterior of the property is a little rundown. The traffic noise and noise from the other guests really ruined our stay. The maid did not come to clean our room till very late which was inconvenient. The desk person said she would call when our room was ready for checkin, but she never did.
