Used to be a great place to stay, but look elsewhere as they no longer offer bag storage facilities if you get there before check in. I was lucky that they had the room ready by 12pm, but that would be the exception not the rule. Also for $200 a night, how hard is it to have a microwave or toaster in the room?

Old building and no proper table for check in
I just think that 10 am is very late to run a hotel business to check people in and on the other hand it’s hard to find staff to ask about hotel concerns after midnight because this place is also a sports bar and it gets very busy
