Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests consistently praised the hotel's central location, making it easy to explore the city. Many appreciated the stylish decor and amenities such as the pool and bar. However, several reviews mentioned issues with cleanliness, noise from the bar and pool area, and inconsistent service. Some guests found the rooms small or uncomfortable, and extra fees were a common complaint. While some staff were described as friendly and accommodating, others were perceived as unhelpful. The pool was noted as a highlight by some, but others found it overcrowded or not well maintained.

Pros (+) Location only
Cons (-) Room was smoky. Air conditioner would not cool the room lower than 70F even after it was inspected. Daily room cleaning was highly variable but consistently poor. Feels extremely dated. Terrible value.

Pros (+) The location was perfect. Could not be better to walk around town. Meeting street is there and the market is right there plus you are one block from King street. Parking is easy as well and the hotel area is safe. The pool is small but right on meeting street and has covered seatinbso you can watch the pool but be out of the sun if you want to. That was neat.
Cons (-) THe halls were under construction. They appear to have needed the renovation. Room was nice but it is small. We were not in it much so it was fine. If you are in the room a lot, this is a challenge.
