Maintain your rooms. Crack in window, air/heat unit leaking and coming out of the window-discovered late Friday night. Insulation from unit visible underneath. Night person tried to help- no rooms available, so she gave towels and offered breakfast coupon which I declined as I already had breakfast plans. Options to change rooms the next morning limited by staff, offered king when originally reserved double, and this was only after maintenence said we needed to switch rooms. Was told that was the only option or wait until 4p check in to see if double was available. Saturday morning staff acted as if the request was a bother. The gentleman at the counter was rude. I opted for the king to make the most of my weekend, and was actually told "there were no extra charges" for the switch. Are you kidding?

No signage outside garage which was in midst of construction project. Very disappointed. Hotel itself was fine and staff was very friendly and helpful.

It's safe, has easy access to the l train, but you have to request to have your room cleaned and the staff didn't do a very good job cleaning. The also overcharged me, but fixed it after I pointed it out.
