Dated but Good Standard Hotel
Pros:

It's a fine standard hotel that's pretty dated but will apparently be renovated soon. Breakfast ends at 9am, which is a bit early to end it, but my actual problem was I thought the check-in told me it ends at 10am. I went down just after 9 to find it closed. Otherwise no issue - room was comfortable enough.

No era lo que esperaba
Pros:

El desayuno excelente ahi si le doy 10

Cons:

La recepcionista no encontraba mi reservacion, me cobro las habitaciones por separado, talvez deberian de dar un poco mas capacitacion a los empleados y un poco mas amabilidad

Pros:

Great location to get around and can use public transportation.

Cons:

Only had one trash can in the room , not in the bathroom. There was only one chair by the bed no desk chair. The breakfast was just ok.

Wonderful location and great value
Pros:

We were put on the fourth floor and for the first night it was very quiet, as requested. The.breakfast is warm and well done. We'd planned to walk to attractions, but the public transit system was close and made the proximity to the World War I museum and Union Station unbelievably short.

Cons:

When we first arrived, we requested a "quiet room." We were put at the end of the hall which was nice. But upon using the bathroom, the sink wouldn't drain, so we had to move rooms. We were given an upgrade and put near the elevators. The second night, families with children were placed around us and they were slamming doors and running up and down the hallways. I know this is a parenting problem, and not the hotel's fault. But I wish we'd been kept in a "quiet" area.

Met my basic needs
Pros:

The hotel is a little dated and a tad shabby. But, the location is close to many things of interest without being in the middle of the hustle. The breakfast provided was good.

Nicely laid out
Pros:

Currently being remodeled. Rooms are generously sized. Fitness center and breakfast are good. Used the stairs to get around, even from the 4th floor because you can exit outside from the second floor. Rooms are dark at night. Good lighting except for the bathroom sink area.

Great Stay!
Pros:

Even though they are going thru a remodel, the stay was comfortable. Will definitely book again when I am back in the area. Also, they allowed a late check out with no issue.

This is a very nice hotel close to where my family lives and is right on the street car line.
Pros:

Breakfast was very good.

Cons:

I had to go down to reception to get a tv remote as there was none in my room. The person at the desk spent a good two minutes on his phone before looking at me. A "I'll be right with you." would have been nice.
