Room review
Worse place I've stayed in over 20 years. Room had exterior door and was not fot properly, so cold air all stay long. Empty cases of beer left under exterior stair casing. Mattress was as bad as what I slept on in bootcamp 50+ years ago. Says, inder renovation, but needs a tear down.

the staff was great... it was quite nice area to stay in... The room wasn't the best but it was a place to sleep for the night... It was little outdated and needs some attention but other then that it worked for us.

Decent, but not as advertised
It was ok if you only needed a bed and bathroom. The room we booked said it had a fridge and microwave, but when we got in the room it didn't have either. The room was clean and bed was comfortable, but not enough pillows for 2 people. Bathtub liner was cracked, but clean. Also no access to 3rd floor ice machine. So Everytime I wanted ice, I had to go down to the first floor lobby.

Terrible experience. Booked our stay, went in the room and it was disgusting. Immediately went back to the desk and asked for a refund. Lady said that only a manager could refund my money and that he would give me a call. Never heard from him.

Really decent value and clean.
Room was clean, linens nice, heat/air a little confusing but call to desk cleared that ip easily. The stopper for tub (I like leisurely bath) needed a plastic bag stopper assist to work.. no big deal.
Appreciated elevator. I’ve stayed here numerous times over the years (I live close, stayed there, as this time, when house lost power)
They have upgraded over time.
I stayed twice this month. First day without power and again as the cold showers at home without power were…. Yeah.

Room smelled like urine/ TV didn’t work. I was so disgusted by it I went out and spent $50 for my own bedding. They said there’s nothing they could do and we already paid so I was out of options.
