Great location. Room was a bit dated and the sound proofing between floors was not very good.
I liked that it was right downtown. They were repairing the windows while we were there and the smell of the caulking was overpowering. They didn’t have another room so we slept with the windows open and asked for extra blankets.
I had stayed at the hotel a week ago. The duvet was dreadful. The polyfill in each quilted pocket had been lumped up, from improper laundering. I had asked the desk tand they apologized and brought me a decent one. 4 days later returned and happened to get the same room. After inspection I had to go back to the front desk and asked "is #402 under par Room?" The nice duvet was again replaced by the lumpy one. One my first review I didn't mentioned it because the issue had been solved, for good I thought. This time we didn't even get a duvet but a couple of polyester blankets. But now I see a pattern for getting crappy duvets. I only stayed 1 night. Also, the elevated only goes to the 3rd floor, the top floor can only be reached by stairs. And though a hopper will offer to bring up your luggage, fact remains, if you are a bit less mobile you required a lot of stairs for daily activities.
Not great for Seniors. I truely believe, travelers using hotels.com get stuffed under the roof, Iam convinced the room on floors below are much better and in greater shape and better updated.
And the " Breakfast incl was less the a Continental breakfast. I just stayed the night but doubt I will be back.
