"For the price, this hotel was great. The only thing that threw me off was I had to share a bathroom. I looked back at my booking and didn’t see anywhere that I would not have a private bathroom, so that was a major disappointment. Otherwise I appreciated the proximity to the metro and other downtown areas."
