Bed sheets did not smell clean. Nost at night. Hard to get sleep. Elevators were under maintenence and it took exaggeratedly long to get anywhere in the hotel. The location is perfect for walking to attractions.

The location is amazing! The parking is expensive we paid for a parking garage in close walking distance through a third party app. The elevators took a bit since one was down, but it was fine. Free breakfast was average, there were hot options which was nice. This is a place you stay for location for sure!!

I was very dissatisfied that when I booked the property it advertised free shuttle to airport but it did not so I was forced to take a taxi at a cost of $20 plus tip.

Hotel was in a great location but 40$ crappy parking per night in a random basement was not it. Also the elevators are in service and not working very well or fast. Hotel is very loud and noisy during the day/night because of the nearby train station and you cannot avoid the sound. Breakfast and baked cookies were good though.

Ok, not great

A little disappointing. Only one elevator out of three in service due to renovation. There is an area in the lobby for complementary toiletries that was virtually empty. Connecting to the WiFi never worked since the Captive Portal never showed up. Great central location though, and a good price given the location.

Out of 3 elevators, only was working. They had a sign that they are renovating them. We stayed 6 nights and the hotel was full every day. You had to wait a long time for an elevator. Our room had a musty odor and the scrambled eggs tasted fake and the sausage was like a hockey puck. Muffins, and other food were good. Tables were being cleaned by guests and the coffee machines were not being replenished. The staff that cleaned the rooms were good. The entire hotel needs a renovation.
