We stayed one night but would book again. Convenient to bus and red line. Some people would find the beds too hard, but I slept fine. We had two singles. With the curved room, walking through without ramming my ankle into the bed post took some doing. Observant people should do okay. The hotel elevator made noises I didn't care for. Couldn't go from the floor of our room to the basement to get ice. Security reasons(?) Really wish they had a self-serve place for depositing take out packaging. We ordered from the Thai place across the street and the lingering odor was obnoxious. Front desk staff had enough to deal with local people complaining about restaurant parking. Lack of a fridge would be an issue for longer stays. Shower leaked a bit through the bottom glass. Appreciated the hot water for tea and coffee. Loved the Saturday brunch and the check in staff were A1.

I think I gave a review, the shower smelled and that was the only problem, the cleaning women tried to clean it. It just needs recorking. The people are friendly and receptive. If your looking for large rooms this isn't the place but they do a really good job providing what you will need with a little extra along the way. This place doesn't have a space where you can work so know this beforehand. I think this property is a gem for what they deliver.
