Probably won't stay there again, but we might, just don't plan on it.
Pros:

We did not get breakfast. The office was still closed at 7am, we couldn't even get coffee. The desk worker when we checked in was a bit surly. However, the young man working the desk in the evening was very pleasant. We liked the location. The bed was very comfortable and we felt very safe there.

Cons:

The room was not very clean, the floor was dirty, the water pressure was low, there was no coffee pot in the room. The AC didn't work very well. One of the bedside lamps didn't just flicker, it was more like a strobe light.
