I took my 9 year old son here for the night for April break. It was magical. From the moment you enter you are greeted by the nicest staff. Check in was clear and easy. The accommodations were spectacular - imagine a bunk bed!! over a queen bed of your very own. The room was quiet - even close to the elevator. A delicious cafe and coffee shop await you in the lobby. Ms Pac Man! Walk to everything that you need. We will be back at least every year.

Prettier in the pictures. When I visited the neon Freehand sign was busted. The hallways and rooms were very dimly lit. The room had no view. And I was charged a resort fee for an onsite restaurant that was "closed for a private event" and a bar that was closed for the month.

Stylish, Hip Hotel with Great Service

Very fun, very stylish/hip hotel with fantastic service. One staff member, Hero (sp?), was fantastic and really helped make our stay wonderful. My only recommendation would be to add more items to the bathroom - water glass, toiletry storage, etc.

Busy, crowded hotel with a college vibe

Loved the decor and the proximity to a great breakfast spot. We had a tiny room that had blackout shades and a warm, comfy bed. Because the room was small, we wanted to use the lounge, but it was often occupied by private groups.

the location is good and the price is right. however, do not expect anything other than a decent crash pad. if you are looking for a cheap place to crash, this is good enough but its not great. The place is old and outdated. The photos look bright and airy and cool but its dark and dingy.
