Pros:

Lovely check-in and check-out process. The ladies working the front were warm, welcoming, and phenomenal. I requested a later check out and they accommodated it without an issue. The room was a nice size and clean. The bed was comfortable and the pillows were nice. They provided plenty of towels! The water pressure was awesome and hot. The area was convenient to USPTO and offered some wonderful Thai food and many other dining and bar options.

Cons: parking is $40, parking to check-in is a bit cumbersome, but there are some garages not to far from the hotel that charge $10 to park for the day. They are about a 5-6 minute walk. The other draw back is that the room is a tad dated. I forgot my charging box and thought they would have USB charging ports—nope! I would suggest that they at least upgrade the clocks to have USB charging capabilities by the beds.
