Pros:

Стандартный отель, стандартные условия. Отель находится на реконструкции. Реконструкция холла отеля. Надо отдать должное завтраки разнообразные по заказу. Правда приходится немного ждать заказа. Также написано, что в ресторане можно заказать Крафт пиво, это действительно так! Пиво очень вкусное! Видимо после ремонта можно смело будет останавливаться в этом отеле!

Cons:

Реконструкция холла отеля. Самое главное не соответствует информация, размещенная на сайте Booking. com. Так на сайте указана стоимость валет-парковки 15$, на самом деле 22$. На сайте указано завтрак 15$ с человека, на самом деле в соответствии со стоимостью заказанного блюда. Необходимо привести в соответствие информацию отеля и Booking и не вводить в заблуждение!

Pros:

Quarto elaticamente espaçoso com cama bem confortavel.

Cons:

Fiquei 5 dias e não houve serviço de quarto em nenhum! No 2º dia reforcei o ocorrido com o pessoal da recepção mas não adiantou e desistide ficar pedindo.
Não tem secador de cabelo.

Terrible
Pros:

Drinks were generous and location was excellent for what I needed to accomplish

Cons:

Timeline From Check In

(1). 5/14/2026– First impression: the hotel lobby and areas off of the lobby are under construction . My first impression was only half the story about the state of readiness for the hotel to rent rooms for the quiet enjoyment of its guests.

(2). At Check In, I ask about parking my Avis rental, which I will pick up through Avis’s office off of the lobby….. Specifically, I asked whether I am able to park in the Avis designated area to avoid the hotel’s $16 per day parking or $22 dollar per day valet parking. The desk person specifically says that as an Avis renter, I cannot avoid the parking charges. My retort was “ So is Avis going to tow their own cars.” I also asked about on street parking…. Each time the front desk person responded with stories about penalties including by Avis according to the front desk person who specifically said that Avis checks their own vehicles and for that reason I would be penalized……. So I gave in and paid for a week of parking…..
A few days later, I checked with Avis’s desk at the hotel, who said I could park in the Avis lot for free. Two conflicting accounts, which would be later clarified by a separate Avis employee….

Why did I ask in the first place— because despite demanding parking fees, the hotel signage all over the parking lot disavows any responsibility for damage to vehicles on site…. To me that says little or no security for the parking lots.

(3). Going to my room, I notice a sign in the area in front of the elevators to the effect “ Under Construction, Please pardon our appearance “.
The carpets on my guest floor are filthy.
The doors for the hotel rooms look unfinished. The mini fridge rocks because it hasn’t been installed correctly and you can’t close off the window from light because the exterior thin “see though” curtain closes fully but the interior “ thick “ curtain can not be closed because its rails stop prohibiting any real shut off of light.
