Experienced loud, incessant stomping sounds from room above due to creaky floors and possibly irate tenants. Hotel nice enough to upgrade us to new room on our last night. Unfortunately during that evening, a junkie set off the entire hotel emergency alarm at 4am. Not a great experience.

For $170 you'd think you would get a tap to fill a glass with a drink of water. Maybe a water bottle in the fridge could help. Shower head leaks like crazy, no pressure in the shower. Other than those, good spot in the city for a night to sleep
