There is not nearly enough parking at this hotel, especially in times of high volume. Overflow parking is about 2 blocks away, not great when you are having to park there late at night.

Our stay at this property was not great. The AC did not work in our room. They sent a maintenance person to repair it & the air went out a second time in a matter of 15 minutes. From that point, they said they would need to replace the entire unit, but did not offer to move us. After waiting over 30 minutes for the repair, we asked for a room change. While they did move us, they did not offer to help us transfer rooms or bring us a new room key. The WiFi was down & the front desk told us that they couldn’t do anything about it. The TV did not work properly either. You had to be standing on top of it to change the channels. The cleanliness of the room was also an issue with some mold on the shower door and dried food on the inside top of the ice bucket. The lobby was completely torn up due to renovations and only one of two elevators were working and it was very sketchy. The stairs were out of service, so the elevator was the only option to reach the room. The breakfast area was located in the middle of the construction zone. The waffle maker was not working properly and other food items were poorly stocked. We did not feel comfortable dining in the hotel, so went elsewhere for breakfast. Lastly, the employees were minimally responsive. We found one employee sitting behind the front desk playing on his phone during the breakfast rush. We usually book at Hampton Inn and this was the worst experience we’ve ever had.

Trash and debris on the floor in the hallway, open areas with equipment and debris, holes in the wall with wires exposed at all times, tape over the smoke detectors and other areas in our room, no one was actively working on these areas.

Had to request room service multiple times. We had an extended stay and it was very busy. It was pretty loud in the evenings as cars were racing on the street outside our window. Should have requested a different room. It was centrally located and the staff was very warm and professional.

Staff was not very accommodating and rushed me thru my check in. The pool is under construction!!!!! I had no idea and the entrance has been rerouted through a long narrow corridor that barely 2 people could fit! The line for free breakfast was insane and there is nowhere to sit. Will not be back!

This hotel is being renovated. The front lobby was closed so we had to use a side entrance that had a table set up in a narrow hallway as a make shift front desk. The hotel is very dirty. Not sure if it’s due to the construction but the hallways and everything need a deep clean. When we walked into our room the floor was sticky and my shoes were sticking as I walked. I could also see spills and crumbs. I asked that the laminate part of the floor be cleaned again and someone came and quickly went over it. It was still very dirty so I went over it with 4-5 Clorox wipes. They turned black from the amount of dirt that was on the floor. The positives and reason for 2 stars is the staff was very nice and the breakfast was good. Also a good location and easy drive to the university and there are lots of restaurants within walking distance.
