Our check in went ok. The room was on the first floor down stairs as if you were on a ship. The room itself was dated and rough. There was a portable heater which came in handy as there was a vent on the wall blowing cold air all night. Every time someone turned on or off the water there was a clunking sound, all night. The attendant's dining recommendation a few blocks away was closed on that day but there was dining a crossed the street behind another building. Would had been nice to have updated info. When we checked out we were bluntly told we could not have a paper receipt as we booked through a third party. First time I had heard that. Just not a good experience. Would not be a repeat or referral for us.
