Poor wifi made my business trip quite frustrating.

The staff was very friendly, however, many things did not work here. The wifi connection was terrible and being here for a business trip that made it very difficult to do my work. The vending machines did not work, and the constant playing of Fox "News" in the breakfast room was very obnoxious. The workout room everything was sticky (I think due to the type of peroxide based cleaner they used which is not good for exercise equipment). The mattress felt a bit old. Positives: the rooms were very clean and the pillows were also very fluffy and there were four pillows which I loved. I would likely choose another hotel in future.

The only thing that bothered us was there were signs warning to distance from others which I haven’t seen since Covid, along with other Covid warnings in the elevator, in the lobby, sterile soap dispensers and the man at the desk wore a mask, it was much too much for us, like pandemic all over again. It wasn’t like that before. Just for that I gave a much lower rating!

So so.

They have been working on the place since October’23 and don’t expect to be finished until March’24. Bed was very comfortable shower head terrible. Breakfast decent. Elevator slow and falling apart. Room was pretty clean. Corridors didn’t seem to have heat. I might stay again after they finish work.

This hotel definitely meet and succeed the 2 stars expectations. The building is older but renovations are taking place. Luckily I didn't get any noise interruptions during my 2 nights stay. The work is from 9am to 5pm and I was mostly out during that time. Breakfast is really good. The room is fairly clean but looks outdated. They will need to modernize this hotel to get to a 3 stars hotel. I don't know if that is what they are aiming for. It's in union city shopping area, close to shops and restaurants. I did hear a lot of police cars and fire trucks. Windows are definitely not sound proof. I would stay here again.
