Although it was super convenient to be two blocks away from the subway station, the area was not all that great. The hotel seems to be situated in the middle of a not to safe part of town. When we arrived for check in they told us to wait, granted, we were early so we went to eat. We checked in. The room was very nice and clean but super tiny. The control to the TV did not work. The balcony door, seems to have the lock/handle broken so it was a mission to open it. Part of the reason why we reserved here was because it said “free continental breakfast” however there is not even free coffee. On one night when we returned to the hotel, it was about 1am and there was a lady on the floor that looked possessed. She looked up at us and just stared. We ignored her and walked to the elevator only to see a used syringe needle on the floor. The hotel says “no smoking” however there are smoking rooms and our room smelled like cigarettes. It was noisy from the other room that seemed to be having something going on. There’s only two vending machines, an ice machine and an ATM. The hot water to shower was very limited and that’s that we took quick showers. The covers only include the sheets and a very thin blanket. Needless to say in 38 degree weather, I slept with my pjs, a hoodie and a jacket on because even though we turned the air off, we woke up to it being turned on.
If you are on a budget and don’t mind the the stuff above, go ahead and book. The staff was friendly at least.
