The building is undergoing renovation and it needs it. The WiFi kept kicking us off. One elevator is down and the other doesn’t light up or ding. There is a fire alarm in the hall that chirps constantly that the staff is unable to fix. That said the staff was responsive and helpful and breakfast was ample and had lots of variety.

The property felt dirty upon walking in, the. Damage in all sorts of places broken tiles elevator buttons both on the walls and in the elevator not lighting up so you don’t know if the elevator was even summoned or not, second elevator was not working, the noise was ridiculous and the hotel was full so could not be moved to the other side away from the street and train, the ac in the room did not work properly the low speed was broken so it was either sounding like a jet or off. All this made it a terrible stay and at the stupid price of 500+ per night I feel cheated for sure will not stay there again and cannot recommend it to anyone.

We were given a room on the second floor facing the highway and the vehicle noise, especially from trucks and motorcycles, was very loud. We were staying for 6 nights so we asked if we could change rooms but we were told they were fully booked everyday. We asked for ear plugs and these did help us sleep.
