Functional 3 star hotel that seems to price like a 5 star
Pros:

Nice bar area and the rooms we clean, modern an comfortable

Cons:

Way too expensive, we paid more than $600 per night. Felt like a real rip off for the level of hotel.

Pros:

Location and service excellence

Cons:

If a 3 day old pizza box is sitting then throw it out, doesn't seem obvious to leave it out the room. Needs a bigger light for the room too.

Waste of money for the actual room. Location was central.
Pros:

The location was central.

Cons:

The room was extremely filthy. It was clear that it had not been cleaned or vacuumed. We requested housekeeping on our very first day, and they did absolutely nothing. The air vents had dust and cobwebs, and the lighting in the room was absolutely minimal. The room was purposely kept dark to not reveal how dusty and dirty it actually was. The dust caused allergic reactions after which all three who stayed in the room fell sick.
