Disgusting. Tv didn’t work. Coffee maker didn’t work. Complained several times. Checked in Friday. Waited until 3 pm Sunday to get towels and coffee pods. Well worn place. Pool was dirty. Cushions disgusting. I don’t know how anyone gave of four stars.

Great location. Close to 6th avenue, Congress Avenue and to the capital. The staff were always very accommodating. The room was quiet and clean. We enjoyed the pool, however we never knew when the pool bar was going to be open. Not a big deal, we just went to the restaurant and grabbed a drink. The only issue that we experienced was that we could never get the coffee maker to work. It was swapped out and still wouldn't work. We had to order coffee each day. They did comp us a breakfast one day for our trouble. I would definitely stay again. Pelons restaurant next door is very good. I would skip Stubbs barbecue across the street. Read less

Good location and relatively inexpensive but the loud AC unit and annoyingly loud unneeded refrigerator made for an unsatisfying stay overall. Got in late so I cannot really comment on the amenities except for breakfast which was fine. Staff was professional.
