Great location, friendly staff.

Great location. First floor room was much smaller than the higher floor we rented in 2023 but friendly helpful staff and again you can't beat the location. Found free weekend parking a block away on 31st street.
John, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Another 5 star adventure.

Another great trip. Last day before returning to reality. This is our second stay at this property and we liked it even more. The location is close to the train station, subways going up and down (and all around), great places to eat, lots of shopping, and close to the public libraries that have great exhibits.

It was a good stay. Rooms are tiny but we didn't spend much time in them. Wish bathroom had better lighting at the sink mirror. No mirror lighting.

10/10 Exceptional

The man at reception was extremely kind and welcoming. The beds were comfortable and we appreciated the large bathroom, though the water pressure was a bit lacking. It was quiet and we loved the general ambiance. Great, great location and easy parking.
katharine, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I liked it to much I’ll be back this Friday! My new go-to hotel!
Stefanie, 4-night trip

4/10 Fair

NOISY

ROOM 203 - located above the front entrance and immediately behind the hotel gym. Loud noise from the main floor bar until late at night. Street noise all night long. People talking loudly in hallway by gym. One foot climb up into shower - unsafe. Shower tiles lifting off shower floor underfoot making unsafe and uncomfortable footing. Likely the worst room in the hotel.
UNA, 2-night trip

Poor conditions of the room, very rude receptionists.
