SERVICE & CHECKIN -- 👎 ok
Not enthusiastic or personable, however they let me checkin early for free (win-win?). The process was fast & efficient too.
Valet parking is steep @ $49.25 per night.
LOBBY & TRANSITIONS -- 👎 poor
More function than flash & every transition point could use some color, paint, & possibly a reno.
Elevators were in "yikes!" condition.
ROOM [King Suite] -- 👎 poor
An old-world modern decor, with generous dimensions for a large party or family. Lots of storage, seating, & amenities included in this room type.
Pictures aren't "inaccurate" per se, they're just very embellished. They're not representative of the actual lighting, paint, & age.
I found the room to be stuffy, giving me a headache almost immediately (likely allergens), with no reprieve since windows aren't functional.
BED -- 👍 great
Clean, comfortable, & a mass of pillows!
I was impressed with the quality & firmness level of the mattress.
Sheets were satisfactory & sleep quality was excellent.
BATH -- 👎 ok
Cleaning standards were very inconsistent in this space.
The shower experience was fair & wrapping up in a waffle texture bath robe afterwards was soothing.
They provide a couple of random toiletries; something is better than nothing I guess.
TV & ENTERTAINMENT -- 👍 good
2x ~40" TVs w/Basic programming. No frills.
Ports are accessible if you decide to connect a chromecast/Google TV.
A record player is included in the room which was a nice touch.
WI-FI & CELL RECEPTION -- 👎 poor
Cell service (Verizon) is the pits & WiFi is bare minimum.
Not ideal for unscheduled work or multi tasking.

FOOD & DRINK -- 👍 good
Breakfast 7 - 10AM + a bar onsite.
Also in the lobby is a mini-market with snacks & non-alcoholic drinks for purchase.
In room amenities:
✅Small mini fridge
✅mini microwave.
✅wet bar
✅coffee
The mini fridge made an unbearable high pitched noise & is not easy to disconnect. 🤕
NOISE -- 👎 ok
Not bad but it's an old building with older construction materials for doors & walls.
Sounds permeate oddly between rooms
LOCATION -- 👍 great
Convenient with a perfect walkability score. Food, casinos, stores are all just a few blocks away.
There area itself felt self as well.
RECOMMENDATION
Price: $128.92/night
Was it worth it: no
Best part: location
Not at all "barebones", but certainly "low effort" when it comes to upkeep & eye candy. Lots of potential and still competitively priced.
I won't be returning but I would recommend this one for a large group on a budget. Great value.
3.5/5 ⭐️
