Not a great experience this time.
I've stayed at the Abacus (and previously the Graduate) a few times, and this time was really disappointing. The room I got was very must and had a distinct odor. On my first morning the maid service just opened the door and tried tro come in without even knocking while I was sleeping. On my last morning the maid service again just opened the door at 9am. I told them I was sleeping and would be out by 11 (checkout time). At 10am, AGAIN the door opened with the maid eager to clean the room. All three times the door was opened without knocking.

The staff was very nice, but no one came to clean the room or offer any type of additional service really. The room was very outdated and we had issues with our door staying shut. We came back from dinner and our door was wide-opened & the rest of the night it wasn't staying shut.

It’s alright. Glad to find it on a game weekend, but basically $1000 plus per night for a lipstick renovated motel. Pluses were safe and only two block walk from the downtown restaurant and bar scene. It’s fine, I’d do it again if only option to be close to everything, but point is that it’s not four star, it’s a solid three

Check-in was easy and fast, as well as parking. Upon entering the room, there was a bit of a musty smell. I think the property is just a little old and there's not much that can be done about that except maybe some air freshening. The bed was comfortable, but there was considerable traffic noise because my room faced a very busy intersection and was quite close to it. The one thing that I REALLY didn't like was that there were copies of the ultra-conservative Epoch Times in the lobby. I will not stay there again if that newspaper is distributed. It's not produced by well-trained journalists and spews a lot of disinformation.

Great stay
I booked this room so I could stay in town before the athhalf, and it was everything I hoped for- very close, extremely comfy bed, allowed me to check out at noon. I did book through a third-party site, and that may be why this happened, but I wasn't aware that there was a $12 parking fee. Other than that extremely minor thing, it was perfect. I'd asked for a room on the top floor and away from the road, and they gave me exactly what I'd asked. I'd definitely stay again and recommend it to travelers
