I stayed here with my family in March, basically to celebrate my niece's 21st Birthday. They wanted to have a good time at Dave & Buster's, which is basically 1.5 Blocks away. This was the main reason I chose this hotel. I did not expect much, but hoped for the best - as we had three rooms. From the time... More

I have been reading the reviews since this property has become a holiday express from comfort. I must say that the only review that was true in our case was the noise factor but that only seemed to have bothered me . Everyone else slept thru the night and did not hear the traffic.

Although the location has improved its lobby and a new urban park lies across the street this ends the positive comments on this hotel property. The management and staff are useless. I stayed with a group and we had to move people around from rooms that were not cleaned up. One room had a tick in the sheets, luckily it... More

We stayed here for 1 night in April 13. The Hotel was very nice & clean the & Staff were very friendly The only negative being that the breakfast was disappointing (practically non-existent) A note for those who like to walk - The Hotel was quite hard to find by walking however if driving it is very central.
