Liked: Cleanliness
Room was rather nice. Bed was comfortable. But had the lowest water pressure on any shower I have ever dealt with at a hotel (and I've had some bad ones). Also, was directly next to the green line. Like, the train practically rocks the building. Coffee machine in room was broken. TV interface was barely responsive and TV quality was low.

A smelly experience - stay away

We entered our room that had a severe odor from a carpet cleaning disinfectant. Our eyes were watering and our clothes smelled of the cleaner only after 5mins in the room. We left immediately and found an other hotel. We asked for a refund which was not granted by the hotel!!! Hotels.com would not refund us either. I’ve been with hotels.com for a decade. I won’t continue.
