Marvelous staff, Interesting Decor, but cramped for long stay
Love the Art Deco in the common areas. Every single one of the staff members were warm, friendly, and helpful. I appreciated the attempts to be green in the bath (but missed any recycle bins. If they are there, I didn't see them). The mattress was great. However, ten days was too long. The Standard Room (2 queens) was cramped for even one person. At night my room was dark except right at the head of the beds. When I opened the wardrobe, the door blocked the light even further -- who knew what color that suit was hanging on the rack -- brown or blue? There was no place to sit to watch TV except the bed (So, I slept through all my favorite shows). There was no desk... unless you use the dressing table at the bath entry. The kitchen has no work space, and I didn't have a kitchen table other than a small, high counter on the wall far from the kitchen. The kitchen is not equipped to cook -- the pans are small and cheap (teflon coated -- cancer threat!), the toaster was shot. The manager offered me a larger room at the same price... at check out. I had asked about a larger room mid-stay, but was told it would cost $20/day more -- for which I could not be reimbursed. So, I was on my way to a better value at the Residence Inn - same price (I'm on government rates) but much better equipped kitchen, bright and lots of space, free breakfast everyday.
