Upon arrival, the homeless tents next door was the first sign of how our trip would go. Walked in, checked in, the lady at the counter was nice, however she informed us that the elevator was down and she didn’t know when it would be working. We at that point had to go up to the 5th floor in which was crowded due to all the guest. It also had an unpleasant smell. When we got to the room, the temperature had to be at 80 plus degrees. And did not smell good. The carpet was extremely stained and were uncomfortable even taking our shoes off. We went to the concert, and when we came back around 11:30 pm, decided to leave and not stay. Would not be going back to this hotel.

Not recommended
Couldn’t get me checked in at first because they “didn’t get the reservation from Hotels.com.” Eventually the manager showed up and they figured it out. Building is in rough condition on the outside. Elevator didn’t work so we had to climb 5 flights of stairs. Hot water was spotty at best. Shower took a long time to get Luke warm, then would get cold randomly

Left for 4 hours and came back to someone having entered the room & left without shutting the door, luckily nothing was missing. Had no shampoo available in the bathroom. The coffee pot was dirty, the lids were the wrong size for the cups.

I rarely write hotel reviews. This property used to be nice but is now long past its prime. We arrived at 2PM on a Saturday. There was a tent encampment across the street. The double doors from the hotel parking lot to the hotel were locked and there were no signs to explain. We walked around front and signs indicated entry after 9PM required a phone call. The lobby was very dimly lit and kind of creepy. There was no attendant immediately available. There were no other people present. The restaurant had a sign that it was permanently closed. Everything seemed in disrepair. We needed to walk back to the hotel about 10:30PM, after a nearby concert. Simply put, we did not feel safe. We didn't even bother checking in. We forfeited our $145 and found another hotel in a safer part of town. We would not recommend this hotel under any circumstances. It is a bit surprising that Expedia even offers this property.

We booked a king room through expedia. When we got to the hotel we stood at the front desk with a group of other people waiting to be helped. After 5 or so minutes a woman came out of an office behind the desk, wearing a pokemon shirt. No uniform, no professionalism. When it was our turn to be checked in, she notified us that our room had been over booked and there were no more king beds available. She offered to switch us to a queen bed room, but stated she "could not over ride the booking. Only a manager could do that" she then stated that the manager "wont answer phone calls or texts" but i would not be charged with a king room. I would only get charged for the queen room. She then had to figure out which rooms were clean, because she "had no idea what rooms are clean or dirty". After a while she came back down and assigned us a room. By the time we get to the room its already 8:30pm. We are exhausted,frustrated, and starving. We get to the room, and its a single twin matress room. We take a bunch of pictures of the room, room number, and matress and figure we will get it straightened out after dinner. We eat, we go back to the hotel and tell the same woman in the pokemon shirt tells me the twin matress room is the same price as the queen and she doesnt have a queen. But i can get a refund from expedia, because the manager wont answer calls. I contact expedia,what do you know. They tell me they can not do anything except reach out to the hotel. Been weeks. Still nothing.

Upon check-in the registration desk the clerk was unable to find my confirmed registration number. After repeated attempts to reach a live agent at Hotels.Com, I was finally able to make a connection. The Hotels.Com representative spoke directly to the hotel registration desk and was still unsuccessful in finding my confirmed reservation. Luckily the hotel was not sold out. We had to cancel my reservation from Hotels.Com and then make a new reservation directly at the hotel. This entire process was quite frustrating and stresssful as we were on a timeline to make it to a concert.

Understaffed, poor condition
Overall condition of the hotel has really gone down hill. Room was clean (had another incident previously where the bed had been slept in and there was vomit in the toilet) but everything seems to be very dated and marginal condition. The biggest issue was after picking up my employee at the airport, we arrived at the hotel at 9:15PM to find the front door locked with a note taped to the door that they would be back at 9:45. Used to use this place regularly but unfortunately too many bad experiences to continue using.
