We stayed in room 514, and loved the space within the well designed room. The kitchen was a cleanly maintained convenience. Although robes were provided (much appreciated) we did not use them. The shower head was wonderful. Please note that there is no bathtub. Towels, meanwhile are not plushy, but are good enough. Now let's talk about the bed. There is only one bedside table ( right side ) while the left side is tightly squeezed close to the wall. So, unless one is petite, it's difficult to access the bed from the left side. The bed itself feels like a "motel-ly" cheap one. Very springy and bouncy, thus validating its relatively low cost. Overall, the was an excellent value for a close-to-excellent room. A very cozy stay, and I would not hesitate to book this room again.

Being right downtown was awesome and for the price, I’m happy with my stay. The hotel itself is outdated, much more than the pictures lead you to believe. The elevators are very small and only one goes to the basement where the ice machine is. A couple icks in the room: the shower was tile, and two of the corners looked like they had never been cleaned and/or there was mold growing. I wore my crocs in the shower after seeing this. Also the couch had a really gross looking stain on it. I probably wouldn’t stay here again when there are a few other name brand hotels close by that may have some higher cleaning standards and updates.
