WILLIAM

Travelled with partner
Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This property does not come close to deserving a 4 start status. To start, the picture is misleading--it is not located on some quaint block but instead in the middle of a busy intersection. It advertises parking is available--it is if you want to lug your luggage 5 blocks away to a public parking garage. The thermostat was not functioning so the room was extremely overheated. . The furniture is of lesser quality than IKEA. When we asked for an iron and ironing board we were told that we had to come use the public ironing board and iron on the first floor because it was unsafe for a hotel room to have an iron. The lobby looks like a youth hostile. This place was terrible.
