Not again

Arrived to people in the shadows of the parking lot and heavy smell of pot and like some crazy movie scene, the light overhead flickering. Room was not very clean, fingerprints and hair from the previous occupant. Front desk guy was nice. Gave us a room with a king. Went back to get the room we paid for, 2 queens.

The location was good, the room and bed were very nice. Don't know if they offer breakfast because I had to leave early for my business meetings. Lots of great parking

Disappointing

I was staying for two nights. Checked in very very late and got into my room. The electrical plugs next to the bed had been removed from the walls and there were cockroaches on the floor and the bed. I went back to the front desk and asked to change rooms, which they obliged. But the new room also has cockroaches, just not as many. The room was comfortable other than the roaches but no coffee maker.

Room was okay, a little pricey for the location and condition of room but apparently there was a big rave the weekend we stayed which drove prices up.

Okay hotel with no frills. Room had few towels, floor felt dirty. And bedding seemed old but sheets were clean and bed was comfortable. Cost more than it should for what it was.
