Good location, but the front desk staff are rude and clueless about anything you ask them. Paid extra for a room with a fireplace and it stopped working after two hours and wouldn’t come back on. Not worth the price considering nicer places in the area

Good location and clean room but in need of customer service and basic upgrades like a radiator that doesn’t run nonstop loudly that you can’t sleep, torn up flooring in elevator, and an odd housekeeping system that is basically self-service. After requesting toiletries that were empty upon check in and new sheets, a bag was dropped off in the room for us to change the sheets ourselves. With all the nearby options, I’d stay somewhere else.
