Reserved and paid 2 months in advance. Arrive for check in and the parking lot was empty and there was a handwritten "closed for business" sign. Attempted to contact the property of course were unsuccessful. No notice, no refund. Further research showed the property was actually sold last year to the city and is no longer a hotel. Not sure why I was allowed to make a reservation in the 1st place.

I paid the full amount for my reservation upfront. When I showed up to the hotel, it was closed with a "CLOSED FOR BUSINESS" sign on the front door. There was no notice from the hotel or Expedia. I was stuck in the rain and had to find another hotel last minute.

Showed up on the day of my reservation just to find the hotel was closed for business. I was charged for a room and was not notified in advance that the hotel had closed for good. Now I'm having a hard time getting my money back. Contacted Expedia 6 days ago and have not heard back since.

They closed. They allowed me to book, and pay for the room then closed the hotel without contacting me. I booked this room months in advance. I showed up to check in with my whole family then head off to the retirement ceremony (once in a lifetime experience) and the hockey game. So it's not like we could just "go home". People were literally loading up trucks with couches etc from the hotel! I asked what was going on and the lady said we are closed!

Hotel is old and run down. Room had a smell to it. Very loud, but to be expected. Bathroom has seen better days. Tub was all cracked and discolored. Pillows on bed are half the size of an average pillow like they were for children. Why? Will not stay here again. Towels were old and some stains. Very gross.

Not as good as it used to be
The hotel advertised a breakfast and even had a sign in the lobby but when we went down for it, we were told no breakfast. This hotel is near the SJ Sharks arena. There were people having parties until past 4am. When we called at 2:30 to complain about the noise next door, we were ignored. Post pandemic, this hotel needs a lot of upgrades. There were places in the bathroom that needed patching and the carpet by the bathroom door was soaking wet.

it was just MEH
The Hotel didn't have any amenities. There were cobwebs and damage, One electrical outlet didn't work at all, the bathroom door handle was loose, and in general it wasn't what I expected. No gym or pool to work out with. Overall, it was dingy, which made the room look shabby.

DO NOT STAY HERE
DO NOT STAY HERE! This place was terrible. Truly. We got there early and were not allowed to check in without paying an extra fee, which I declined and I do understand. After the game we were in town for, we went to check in and I could see right away that the rooms are nothing like the photos. They have duct tape where the floors and the tile meet. Our room wasn't cleaned, just the bed was made. I know this because there were drip spots on the floor and the toiletries had all been opened. There was used soap next to the sink. The bed is very uncomfortable. And things like the remote obviously never get cleaned. The shower was so gross we didn't even try to use it. AND NONE OF THAT WAS THE WORST PART. Why didn't we leave you ask? Well because we had just enough time to put our stuff in the room and then left for dinner reservations. When we came back, our room had been ransacked. All our bags had been emptied and our things scattered all over the bed. We had some missing cash so we called the police and ended up waiting for them until 3am because we were told we had to make a report to get a refund. The property claims their cameras weren't working. The workers could not have cared less that our room was broken into. Since the door looked fine, seems like they had a key. Seriously, this place is a total dive and we did not feel safe. It may be convenient to the Arena but is not worth it at all.

Long time guest a little disappointed
We stayed here the last 10+ years. Great location with walking to the arena and restaurants a plus. Did not like the 4 pm check in but this was spelled out in the reservation. They did open at 3:50 pm and we checked in the same room as last year. The air conditioning did not work but good breeze cooled us down. Just disappointed how the hotel is slowly getting run down. For the price, location and room size is hard to beat. We will be comparing other hotels next year.
