Wonderful
Location great. Also they bumped bus up to a suite with an amazing view. The room was luxe.
The resto and pool deck is pretty but not great. It actually feels a little empty and haunted. But still cool. The art deco vibe is pretty. Staff is good. But slow to check in and out. Location good.

The lobby is the only nice thing about this hotel.
It was dirty, out dated, there were issues with the shower, the photos are either old or AI enhanced

The whole stay was a disaster. The best part was the farmers market nearby on Thursdays.
The staff was was slow and unattractive. They had 3 front desk employees help 1 client as the line grew. The hotel is filthy, it smells, it is embarrassing. The room is literally falling apart. The bed stinks and I've had better pillows while camping.

The lobby decor and the music that was playing.
Wallpaper was coming off the walls, sink in bathroom list pressure then was followed by a rust colored water. Pillows were lumpy and old. Strange bedding with no top sheet. No room to hang clothes, could hear noises in the walls at night like a scraping or rolling sound.

It’s clean & staff are wonderful and it’s across the street from where I work
They need to put a clock in the room!
And they need to have easy accessibility to power to charge phones at the bedside!

Location was great. Room 615 was very spacious.
Room was too dark. Shades were broken and could not open so room was completely dark.

I have stayed at this hotel numerous times and I love the location. It is right across the street from my daughter’s dorm. That’s the best thing I can say about my stay this time.
I had booked a queen bed for three nights. I arrived around 6 PM to check in and when I got to my room, it was a small stuffy room that smell of vomit with a double bed. When I inquired about the change of bed sizes, I was told because I checked in late (I don’t believe 6 PM is that late) and that they were very busy because of the holiday weekend that all they had left available was a double bed. There was no refrigerator in the room and I asked if I could be changed to a room that at least had a refrigerator because I take medication that needs to be refrigerated but they could not accommodate me. I also asked if they would be refunding me the difference of the price, but they said since I booked through a third-party that I would have to request it from Booking.com.
The phone in my room did not work so every time I needed anything I’d have to go downstairs, which normally would not be a big deal, but I have a disability and having to maneuver going up and down several times a day for different reasons was difficult. I asked that my room could be clean that evening because it smelled of vomit and they said they would try but they didn’t. I asked if I could have two new pillows because the pillows smelled like mold and vomit and I never received them after asking a couple times. I asked for ice the first night and didn’t receive it either. There is no ice machine. You have to ask the front desk for ice. I asked for the room to be clean the second day I was there, but it was not cleaned either. It was on the third day tho. I did finally get two extra pillows after having to go downstairs twice to ask.. the AC worked sometimes, and sometimes it just stopped. Some of the outlets did not work as well as the iron. Was extremely sad and disappointed at not only the accommodations, but my interactions with the staff. I tried not to bother them, but I had no other choice. And most stuff I didn’t even tell them about.

Exceptional
Amazing location visiting over Labor Day with my wife.
Coming back after midnight from US Open, unfortunately our HVAC malfunctioned while we were out and the room was HOT.
Luckily, Audrey at the desk came to the rescue and helped us switch rooms. We slept in a nice cool room and rested assured by the quality service.
It’s a great value! There were some worn items in our room including the blinds being slightly broken. It’s not perfect condition, but the location is perfect.
