Unsatisfactory

Hotel is in a good location for the price however I was VERY dissapointed in the overall experience. The elevators were jam packed and then the doors would close on you when getting out. Some guests had to wait 20 mins to get to the lobby. The walls are paper thin in the rooms. Rooms are generally clean but old (aside from bathroom renovation) and are not impressive what so ever. The from desk employees were helpful but they were serverly understaffed for a Saturday. I recommend paying an extra $50-80 to stay in a better run / more modern hotel. Wish I had!

Great location... but that's pretty much it

Hotel was pretty average and the hotel staff not that helpful. We stayed on the 15th floor where they have a private lounge where they serve breakfast and hors d'oeuvres, both of which were pathetic! Unless you would show up right at the beginning they would run out of stuff and never replenish, plus the food quality was pretty average. Overall the location was excellent but everything else was average, so if you get a good rate then I would recommend this hotel, if not, stay somewhere else.
