Check in was easy and pleasant, common area was as-pictured and expected. The room needed some touch-up paint and general refresh. All-white walls are lovely but dingy…Same for the bathroom. Location was primo and beds were comfortable.

I've stayed here several times. The location and value can't be beat!! Things to know - you must pack slippers! The floors are not carpeted or tiled. It's poured concrete. Great for cleaning, but not for warmth. The middle gathering space offers tea and coffee, or you can buy an overpriced hot beverage when you get breakfast across the street at Uncommon Grounds. (Great bagels there!) The front desk is unmanned after 9 PM, so make sure you let them know if you're going to have a late arrival!

This location is walkable to the downtown area for food and shipping. Parking is right outside. The staff were very friendly. My only complaint would be that my window did not lock. I had a pleasant stay at the hotel.
