Very Good Location, Clean, Good Price, Dated
I have stayed at this hotel several times on business. This hotel is being renovated in stages (carpeting, TV, etc). During my last stay (week of March 5, 2012), the carpeting had been recently replaced on my floor. This renovation made a big difference. 
This room appointments (desk, chairs, etc.) are dated. The TV in my last two rooms had picture tube, not flat screen. However, the rooms are clean. The wireless Internet worked. The staff is pleasant, professional, and responsive. The price is better than most hotels in this area, and near a large number of great restaurants on 9th Ave.
