Hotel is in a great location! We checked in late, around 9:30pm. The lobby seemed very busy because there was a lively bar/restaurant. Our room was on the first floor, next to the "public" bathrooms. You can totally hear the noise from the hallway if you're in the room's bathroom, but once you're in bed, the noise isn't bad at all.

No cold water at all and staff didn’t care when notified, they said to run the water and that the boilers were super good. AC stopped working for and didn’t get fixed for over 24hrs. It was 92 degrees. Building is outdated.
