Customer service was amazing! Front desk and housekeeping were very nice. Location was great. There were hairs in the shower, mold on the bathroom ceiling, fridge smelled awful. Fruit flies everywhere. Room 3002. I would give this place another chance just because of the staff.

Disgusting rooms, air vents caked with dirt and mold (?) , nasty carpets, musty smells everywhere. Nice location near convention center though, and if you get drunk enough you might not notice the absolute filthiness of this hotel. Look elsewhere.
