Was okay, not sure if I would stay again; wasn’t impressed.
Pros:

It was very close to my son’s apartment.

Cons:

The room had a very bad smell to it. I got used to it after being in the room for a while. The a/c was initially set to 64 upon arrival and it was freezing in the room. No apple juice on the breakfast buffet (ran out I guess?).

Awesome, exactly as advertised
Pros:

The breakfast

Cons:

My only comment is that heading north on South 42nd street it is easy to miss the turn into the property because the sleep inn and suites sign on the top of the building cannot be seen( at least at this time of year. A sign at the roadside would be helpful. Just a thought
