Better than anticipated
Based on the half and half mixed reviews, I was nervous to stay here but we were pleasantly surprised how great everything was here. Some of the negative reviews about blood on the sheets, bed bugs, rude staff etc were not anything we experienced during our stay. We were here for a 6 day September vacation to see the city. Jackie, the front desk attendant checked us in and was really friendly and welcoming. The few issues we had while there were immediately addressed. We used the vending machines on the second floor to try and buy water. The machine was out of water, and took the money we had put in. When we informed the front desk attendant, he went in the back room and pulled out two bottles of water for us. We received a courtesy call when we opted to not have housekeeping straighten the room one morning, letting us know that if we needed anything, just let someone at the front desk know. There is usually someone at the door as you exit to hail a cab for you if you need one. The breakfast was ok, mostly sugary pastries, cereals, pancakes and other carbs. The walls seem thin, but we were staying during a relatively quiet week so noise wasn't much of an issue. On our last night during our stay, the neighboring room sounded like it was full of small children yelling but it was quiet by the time we were ready to sleep. I wish there were fans in the bathroom. Also, the sink does not drain fast if you keep the water running. Other than that, our stay was enjoyable.
