The room was clean. Check in was easy. Felt safe and quiet from outside noise. The walls are thin. The bed is hard and squeaks when you move. The pillows have no support and the sheets were scratchy. From what i could tell, no way to change the temperature in the room.

The front desk staff is so welcoming and helpful. Room was very clean and so nice to have all the amenities with the kitchenette. Went down to The Knick right inside the hotel and had a couple great appetizers and fantastic drink from the weekly specials menu. Our server, Nick H, was the best! Very engaging and entertaining! Overall, my stay was 5 stars because that's the treatment I was given

The front desk was attentive and the room was spacious and in a decent condition considering its age. However, there were a few things that affected what would have otherwise been a positive experience. Firstly, there was a strong odor of marijuana in the elevators and hallway that was especially apparent at night. Secondly, the soundproofing in the rooms is lacking, as I was woken up by my next door neighbors engaging in “activities” around 3am.
