Beware of cockroaches
Within the first hour of being in the room, my husband smashed the first cockroach of the stay. More to follow. The walls were paper thin. The bathroom was so small one could barely turn around in it. You had to step into the shower to open the door to get out. Hilton is tarnishing its brand by offering this hotel as part of its collective.

The property itself was converted from an older hotel but was tastefully renovated. Our room was very comfortable and the service from the front desk as well as breakfast area was great. Considering the price of neighbouring hotels it was the most affordable option but definitely does not have the frills of other hotels. Breakfast bagel bar is fine for a few days but it gets old pretty quickly. Overall, it was good for our needs as we just needed a place to sleep.

Neighbors were very loud, but it was so late that it was too much to try to change rooms. Staff was wonderful. Overall value for the money was fair..It wasn’t worth the $152 I paid for the night. It was basically a clean motel room not what I expected and no microwave available either.
