Staff is what staff every should be. They are there to assist you. We pay for that service. Sounds simple but that basic agreement is lost on employees too often. Location is great in a great city

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Wouldn't recommend for an enemy. Had to check out early due to excessive noise and cold. Middle of winter but the heater wasn't working. They gave me a little space heater but kept tripping breakers for the entire circuit in the room. People running around drinking and partying but management had no answers. Asked for a refund for the remaining days off my stay to no avail. Worst experience in a hotel of my life. Avoid this place at all costs. Only thing positive was the shared bathroom was kept decently clean to my surprise.
