Wonderful fall getaway at a clean, friendly hotel in a great location.
Pros:

Location location location! Just a block away from the Chinatown Metro and a short walk from museums and the Shakespeare Theater. Amazing breakfast selections, too. Plus friendly staff!

Cons:

It would have been nice to have a pool — but you can’t ask for everything!

Wonderful.
Pros:

The breakfast was very delicious and had a good option to choose from.

Cons:

I wish the facility could have water dispensers at the ice machine location or somewhere in the building. The only way to get water was to go get water from the container in the lobby which was very inconvenient.

AVOID THIS HOTEL AT ALL COSTS
Pros:

Not worth $200 a night. Avoid if u can.
Rooms need major upgrades. Things are hooked on multi pin joints. Bath tubs and toilet seats have rust stain. The TV unit was tilted. Location is okay.
The front reception staff needs to retrained.
Breakfast is decent but gets crowded if you are late.

Mal momento en la reserva
Pros:

La habitación y el desayuno

Cons:

El servicio al cliente fue pésimo. Las camas dobles no podían entrar 3 personas. Incluso me dijo el personal de recepción que en Booking dice que nos dan un sofá cama y que no es cierto.

Gross
Cons:

Left within four hours. Busy day of site seeing. Got to the room took a nap. Upon getting up realized someone else’s hairs on the shower walls. Within a few minutes after that a cockroach came running out from under the bed. Absolutely disgusting. Left and had to make three attempts for them to respond to booking.com not only that got charged $73 for parking and there is not one that returns your call and they don’t give out a phone number for them.
