Great location! Excellent Price!
Excellent price. Excellent location. Hot water available immediately. Bed was comfortable. Only 3 drawbacks were: no bathtub and also no place to eat and you can't watch TV from the bed.

Very low-touch hotel experience--no staff interaction; use of codes to gain access. Room was spacious/good layout, clean, basic amenities. Several good nearby restaurants, shops; able to walk to many other local sites. However, saw more homeless individuals in the vicinity, also likely due to hotel location.

Excellent stay
Stay was great, a few small items would have made it even better: coffee stirrers, tea, throw blanket and pillows for the couch.

Nice room in a not so nice place
Roma are nice and comfortable. Especially the bed. However, the location is in a very noisy, dirty location (4 to 5 trash cans at the entry and next to the Patco subway entry: an open air latrine). The elevator was broken all my stay and we had to enter from the emergency door that was stack most of the time. The room was noisy because of the noise from people drunk on the street and the HVAC.

AC broken horrible service.
The AC was broken. Notified Staff thermostat read between 80-86 degrees all night. Was promised Fan delivery at 10pm never got it. Couldn’t sleep due to extreme heat. Want full refund. Was told they were coming to service AC today AFTER I checked out.

Safe place to stay
The building was safe. The space was nice for 2 parents and a daughter. It was misleading on the site. It looked more divided. It was not.
The TV did not work

The building had tons of character, was very clean, bed was comfortable. You are in the city and it’s an older historic building so you will hear the city. You will not interact with a human for check in, check out or at all for the stay (no staff). It’s in a great location and I enjoyed my stay.

Spacious rooms but the bathroom fan was very noisy, lights were not working, and the Roku wasn't friendly. For the price, worth it.

Everything was great, the area was great, it was EXTREMELY loud outside but we stayed over a weekend. On Sunday it was great, and I think a weeknight stay would be perfect here.

Good overall. Hot water issue
Overall quite good place. Have stayed here often. Only downside this time was there there was no cold water in shower one day (which is a real problem in January!).
