The shower was dirty and old, but the room was clean and comfortable.
Pros:

Location. Comfortable room.

Cons:

Window blinds were a mystery. Buttons were not labeled at all, as suggested in the hotel’s online guide. Had to push every button until something happened.

Our shower was old, dirty, and lacking in multiple ways. 1) there was a lot of mildew in the grout 2) the tub was quite slippery, and you could see stains where there had presumably been grip pads previously, 2) the shower controls were a guessing game, and one of them, presumably for the handheld wand, did nothing, 3) the tub coating was broken away in one spot, so you could see the black metal under the white coating.

Classy and close to everything!
Pros:

Joie! She welcomed us our first night and took the time to give us all the recommendations that we needed and checked on us throughout our stay. The rooms were spacious and decor was classy. Cleaning was consistently on point. We felt safe and were close to everything!

Cons:

The rooms were too dark. Some people like a cave and maybe I am getting old but if it’s too dark to tell navy from black then there’s a problem.
The bed was too soft. Again maybe we are getting old.
There was no vent in the bathroom 😬.
The elevator doors open concerningly slow.
