Terrible stay. Awful smell of natural gas in the hallways. Room was small. Noisy. Heat was broken. Room was 64 degrees all night. Checked out early.

Our room (307) thermostat was working properly. It says 67° but it felt like 62° especially with the window draft. That should get checked out. And the shower water was not warm at all.

What a cool hotel! It was obviously once used as apartments, but the new set up is even cooler. We had SUCH a spacious room, with an included bathroom that was clean and comfortable. It was so spacious, in fact, that each bed had a TV at the end of it. We were very comfortable.
