Don’t pay for the breakfast included with your stay. The buffet was awful!
Pros:

The location to what we were there for was great.

Cons:

The lack of restaurant time/service and the quality of the service when it was open. The buffet was poor for breakfast. Everything was cold- especially the eggs

The staff is great, the location is great but a bit rundown for the price charged
Pros:

Location to hospitals

Cons:

Valet parking. It’s just a tax on any of the customers that arrive by car. A big grass lot behind the building is fenced off so we could not walk our dogs there leaving dog owners having to cross busy downtown streets to get to a small grass strip

Convenient location, clean, and accommodating staff
Pros:

The location of this hotel was convenient. The decor is older style but the hotel is very clean and the beds were comfortable. What really stood out is how accommodating the front desk staff was. There was a hiccup with my third party reservation and they were immediately so helpful and solved the problem quickly, especially Celine. Check out and valet were smooth.

Dirty beds
Pros:

I’m going to start with cons because during the heaviest snow storm we ever had, I had to leave and drive home through dangerous weather. Other rooms were full.

Cons: beds were disgusting. Looking at the mattresses after becoming extremely itchy and a bad skin reaction on my face…. I noticed a bite or two on my arms and back. Started digging through beds… blood on the sheets, yellow red stains all over the mattresses that they tried to cover with multiple bed covers. Pillows were just as bad. Looked on google reviews: they had a history with bed bugs. I immediately changed, walked out of there in a blizzard, and went home. The drive home was very uneasy.

Pros: close to city hospitals, powerful hot shower, fridge, microwave, tv.

They need to change their beds and clean better.
