Really awful!
I had read bad reviews of this hotel before I arrived, but my reservation was made by my husband's boss ahead of time (for a business trip) and we were told we could not change it. So with very low expectations we asked for an upgrade upon check in. The front desk guy was friendly and said he gave us a "better" room. The place is VERY run down. It's one of those enormous old hotels that must have been glamorous in its day but is plain scary now. Our upgraded room had worn out carpet, faded wallpaper, garage sale reject furniture, and cheesy bedding. We were at the back of the hotel, a few floors above the "L" (above ground commuter train), which went by every 10 minutes(in my sleep-deprived recollection) all night long. Not only did they charge $10 for internet access, they charged per device! So we had to pay twice so that I could get online to book a different hotel while my husband went to his meeting (which I did easily thanks to Tripadvisor!). For all this, the price was nearly $200, and the place appeared to be packed. I give it two stars only because it was clean, and the staff were friendly and appeared almost apologetic.
