Pros first:
Had no issues with check-in, other than getting a “lower level” aka basement room that has a window that’s mostly occupied by the A/C unit and “looks” into a courtyard. The A/C did work well though!
The location is very close to lots of mass transit (JMZ trains, B57 bus stop right outside).
I found the room to be very clean despite some worry there may be insects being on the lowest floor.
The bed was comfortable.
The cons:
It seems like this was almost like an extra room that was being used for spare parts…there was a mount for a TV, but no TV? My room also had no fridge, one of the light fixtures was missing a bulb, and none of the shower soaps/shampoos were filled/working (hand soap was available at the sink). I was just here for just one night and didn’t really NEED any of these things, but it hardly feels welcoming to be in a basement room staring at a TV mount and Direct TV box.
There was an ice machine in the breakfast room, but rooms didn’t have buckets of ice. There were flimsy plastic bags next to the machine, and also small plastic cups (there were no cups in the room).
They are still not serving breakfast at this time.
Overall it just felt like this is a place that was great in 2019 but hasn’t recovered from the pandemic, and didn’t live up to some of the positive reviews here and other sites.
