- The shower was not draining properly and any use of it over 3 minutes would have flooded the bathroom. - The TV was working on/off all the time. - Closet doors were so badly adjusted that I thought they breank when opening them, very noisy and not practical. - Half the numbers on the safe were not working Bathroom door was very noisy and almost coming off the track on opening - Staff was very polite but probably one of the worst room I ever had, specially for that kind of money.

Short walk to the convention centre, an assortment of different types of food. Not far from local tourist attractions so plenty of options otherwise its a short uber/lyft but i walked almost every time. Great spot for convenience, staff were friendly and bed was a comfy retreat after a day out and about.

This hotel was probably nice some years ago. It needs a refresh and an upgraded WiFi; there seems to be a new super wifi but its slow. TV had no sound, not major issue since we didn’t have time to watch it but still…why no audio ? Staff (old man) at night misinformed us about the parking when we arrived to check in and it was very frustrating: if someone is incompetent and hardly speaks english, please fire that person or put him on another duty. Hotel is quiet and well located, although surrounded by homeless people. For the price (200$ a night) its acceptable but I don’t think we would come back.
