My stay at the hotel was mixed. The rooms were large, comfortable, and reasonably priced, with some sanitary issues related to a sewer smell. The location was interesting but had a downside of being near homelessness. The dining experience had some positives and negatives, and the service was friendly but with some issues honoring discounts.

Staying at this hotel was quite mixed for me. On the bright side, it's conveniently located downtown with the added bonus of having a pool right below our room. The rooms had some fancy shampoo and conditioner dispensers in the shower, but the AC unit was problematic, making the stay less comfortable at $80 per night even after they fixed it.

The rooms had some nice features like fancy shower amenities, but the AC unit was unreliable, affecting the comfort level of the stay.
Service

The service was polite and accommodating, with the staff going the extra mile to help, including compensating for some expenses. However, at times, they seemed a bit robotic in their approach.
Location

The location is a mixed bag. It's very close to 6th Street with plenty of bars and restaurants, but there's a significant homeless presence. The proximity to the police department adds a sense of security, but the neighborhood can be hard to navigate, especially at night.
Dining
5.0
The dining experience was average, with breakfast being better than some 'free' offerings but still below par compared to other hotels. The quality was acceptable but nothing exceptional.

The hotel had some good facilities like the pool below our room, but overall, the experience was marred by the AC issues in the rooms.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were very clean and met my expectations, but the one across the street played loud music until 1 AM, so it was quite noisy. The service was accommodating overall, but there were incidents like my husband being reprimanded for not having his mask up properly. The location was convenient for exploring 6th Street but had its share of homeless and aggressive individuals. The dining was decent, but I wished for more breakfast options.
