Needs work but great location
Pros:

Location and free breakfast was good. Beds were comfortable and room was clean.

Cons:

Fan in bathroom did not work. Lights switch was broken. Remote battery was weak. Refrigerator very cold. Room was cold with a draft after turning off air conditioner. Could smell breakfast in the room like it was cooking right next to me.

Decent, convenient experience if somewhat smelly
Pros:

Was right downtown and close to the train station, so suited my needs for a quick overnight. Staff was friendly.

Cons:

There was a weird, somewhat moldy smell in my room. It's been a humid summer in the midwest and I wonder if it's a result of that. I dunno.

Bfast was adequate- nothing special

Examen the room closely. The location is great for exploring the city.
Pros:

I do enjoy complementary hot breakfast.

Cons:

The room was well used. The clothes rod in the closet was falling off the wall, carpet was not very well vacuumed and the bathroom was, well, poorly stocked on towels.

Pros:

La posizione centralissima, la colazione molto
Buona e curata.

Cons:

La mancanza di un parcheggio che costringe a cercarlo a pagamento. Per un hotel di livello non è accettabile. La carenza e dovrebbe comportare un costo giornaliero più basso.

Pros:

the breakfast here was actually one of the best i have had in a buffet style! also the location was wonderful.

Cons:

the parking situation was extremly unclear and felt a little unsafe for a solo female traveller. the rooms were very outdated and while it seemed to be properly cleaned, the age of the room and bathroom made it hard to feel clean. also as a female solo traveller i was given a room with a fire escape access to an alley which again felt very unsafe.
