Nice place to stay
Overall decent property
This hotel will be rated even higher once UH completes this massive construction project (in 2027) - the front entrance is completely blocked, and it’s confusing to know where to be dropped off due to detours and one-way streets.

The only thing going for this place is location. Inside the campus of UH, very convenient for parents/family accompanying students in their moving ins, graduation, or simply visiting. The hotel hence take advantage of this particular clientele to overcharge for they offer. The Hotel is old, the carpets are old, the AC unit not only old and very noisy but the air sanitation is questionable. The Amenities are poor, the checking/reception area is uninviting, they have those showcases of the hotel history, who gives a damn about their history, but no comfortable seating, no TVs, no continental breakfast, not even complimentary water or coffee/tea you find usually hotels of comparable stars.
