Grateful for the location and attentive front desk staff. Nice to have a mini-fridge and microwave in the room. Robes were a nice touch. However the general condition of the property left something to be desired. Looked like it hadn't been updated since about 1990. Cracked and chipped tiles in the bathroom, popcorn ceilings, worn furniture, water damaged wallpaper. It was clean but not pristine, just overall needs an update.

Room walls were very thin as we experienced our last night with very noisy guests next door having loud conversations and plying music from 4:15am until 5am. I actually called the front desk to complain and they did follow up but I understand I you can’t control drunk patrons. We were in room 408. The room itself was very spacious with free waters, a microwave, a fridge and very large king bed which was comfy. Some of the old designs/wear and tear of the room showed - cracks in the silicone on the base of the toilet and bathtub, loose wall outlets near the bed trying to plug electronics securely, noisy ac/fan unit (if left on throughout the night). The area itself (mid town east) was stacked with restaurants, shopping, bars and transit all in walking distance which was very convenient. All in all we probably would come back to this hotel as it checked most of the boxes
