Once upon a time
Once upon a time this was a really nice and friendly place that one could rely on for no-frills, basic clean and relatively comfortable accommodation, close to the Hynes convention centre. Its location has not changed. It still has some nice apartments, but now twice in a row I arrived, after an overnight flight, to find myself arguing with a receptionist, who clearly was not the right address for the fact that what we asked for and wwere promised (by phone), was not available or only after a long argument and wait. Twice also we got what was a poorly kept place, one with no functioning toilet, another time, not really with a separate bedroom. Admittedly , the last time, after protesting, we got a partial refund for the night in the place with malfunctioning toilet and were moved to a nicer place, but not the address we were promised. Unfortunately, there, sleeping on the sofa was a challenge, because its mattress was in such poor condition that only in a rather contorted way one could avoid lying on the metal bars. Requests to change the mattress were politely answered that sure, we will do so, but it was never done, something one then discovers at 10 p.m. after a long day at the meeting. At USD 250/night this is not anymore the bargain it was several years ago and one would expect to be able to get what one asks for and a better maintained place.
The difference between this and the more moderately priced among the normal conference hotels is not anymore worth the hassle, unless something changes so as to make sure one gets what one pays for.
