Room was clean & surprisingly big. Bed was comfy. The area leaves a lot to be desired. Noisy street people throughout the night. Place is a little sketchy, I wouldn't take my girlfriend here. If you're flying solo, seeing a show at the Van Buren or Crescent Ballroom, this is not a bad place. Not a great place, but...

This was the perfect location if you are attending the concert across the street at The Van Buren! Had a balcony overlooking the venue and next to the venue I was able to order pizza and fries from Ziggys! It had a microwave, fridge and blow drier! Would stay again.
