Breakfast was so so, cheap like the rest of the place. Location was great, but this is a motel, not a hotel as advertised. Dirty, trash was everywhere.

Sjur, United States of America

Location was great, and more importantly, there were rooms available when everybody else was completely booked. Met my expectations for this tier of hotel.

Kenneth, United States of America

Location was great, walkable to eateries/bars. There for the Derby, so I understand price of the room was exorbitant for quality of hotel but we still had fun! Most of the staff was nice and helpful.

Sabra, United States of America

Wife would have liked an extra blanket, but there was not one in the room. There was a fair bit of traffic noise, but that was expected given the downtown location.

Wifi was literally not there, and they have it for namesake. I was tired to complain about the problem every hour and there wasn't much response you get back. Later, I lost my interest and stayed there with no proper internet for a week.
Except for interent, everything was good.

I was suppose to get government rate and had called before my trip and was told over the phone to bring my government ID and they would correct the reservation. When I arrived at the hotel the two front staff were very rude and stated that I was told wrong and there was nothing they could do. The problem was not corrected, the police were at the hotel the night we stayed and in the morning when we woke we felt unsafe.
