It was a fine hotel, or more like a motel. The only negative is that the shower only had the upper head, no hand-held one.

Positives: Low cost. Lots of thoughtful perk-ups to a 1950's building that otherwise look like it's falling apart. Canaries in the lobby, very pleasant. Nice room. Negatives: No USB port in the room for my phone. The exercise room is closed until 8am so I couldn't work out before I had to leave for my conference. The exercise room's freeweights start at 50lbs and go up; I need 5- 8- 10-lb weights, I've never lifted 50. No elevator, so this 78-year-old guy had to haul suitcases etc up a flight of metal stairs.

There was a cockroach in the pool when I stayed with my girl friend. It was off putting but it remains a joke that we have together. It’s not too personal against the hotel— cockroaches are everywhere urban and the water roaches are nearly impossible to evict completely. Otherwise, this was an awesome stay. We ended up using the hot tub which is open late, anyways. There is a tiki bar attached and, despite other reviews, this barista was quirky, friendly, and funny. We had a great time.

We reserved 3 rooms. 2 of the 3 are in need of renovation. The best of the 3 had a very slow draining shower and inconsisten water temperature. The pool, bar, and lounge are were lovely. This hotel has a lot of potential, but in order to reach it we need some more tlc. I pray she receives it.
