Great place to stay!
Nice place but lots of homeless people around the area that make it unsafe and only seen one or two cops in the are, a larger police force in the area would make the area safe. Every one was nice and keep to them self, just keep in mind great for people looking for a nice place to stay but not so much if you have a family you need to keep tabs on lol.

Worst hotel I have ever walked into AVOID
This hotel is by far the absolutely nastiest hotel I have ever walked into. I use hotels.com all the time and I think they probably should not allow this hotel to advertise on their website it is that bad. On top of the disgusting conditions of the room, this is a very bad part of town with a bunch of tweekers just walking around. This is my first review because even if I can save one person from staying here before a flight out early the next morning or whatever it is, that is worth my time writing this. These pictures they share are NOT what this hotel looks like.

It was relaxing but the room should have been cleaned better. Shower was dirty, Desk chair wasn’t wiped down. It still had make up wiped on it, and room just didn’t seem to be cleaned up very well.

great stay in City that doesn’t clear/grit sidewal
called shuttle from airport and it arrived a few minutes later - very efficient, lovely lobby with gas open fire and easy chairs. efficient check in and elevator, nice large room with efficient heating and fridge + microwave. comfortable bed, nice side view of lake. lots of eating options within 5 minutes walk. (but authorities hadn’t cleared or gritted the sidewalks so I was marooned in the hotel unless I took a cab or Uber - wouldn’t bother to visit city in Winter again- too dangerous)

Neighbors were rowdy and smoking right by room door. The smell of smoke was penetrated in my room. Neighbors were arguing all night. Many homeless people walking around, and one even tried to open my door at 3 in the morning. I didn’t sleep the whole night.

Budget Friendly
The room I stayed in was very small, but given the good price that I paid for the room, it was pretty much what I was expecting. Nice hotel, friendly staff, very relaxed atmosphere.

No Heat
The room was very clean...but there was no heat! I told the front office about it...I was told there was some controls on the baseboard itself. Well, there was no type of sign in the room letting patrons k ow how to put the heat on.

2/10 Poor

Disgusting
Stayed here one night for next day flight. The beds sheets had hair and looked unclean, there was food and wrappers under the edge of the bed, and the room key machine was broken so when we needed back in our room, staff had to let us in because we didn't get a room key. If zero starts we're an option, that would've been my rating.
