Disliked: Cleanliness
OK, so here's an honest review: PROS: - Relatively quiet area - Washer and Dryer on site (excellent) - Staff was mostly nice and accommodating - Little Italy down the street was a dream - With the exception of the problem below, room was pretty clean, had housekeeping come clean the room mid-week and they did an excellent job, except for the curtain... CONS: - First room I was assigned still had someone's stuff in it - 2nd room had puke on the blackout curtain. Asked about having it replaced and was told I had to wait until the next day. The next day, the woman at the counter was rude and noncommittal about someone coming up to replace the curtain. No one ever did and I stayed in a room with puke on my blackout curtain all week. - Fire alarm late Friday night had to hang out on the sidewalk for like an hour (don't think there was actually a fire) Overall, an OK stay for the money. Puke curtain was a big turnoff so I don't think I'll stay here again, but you could do worse.
Room was pretty clean
Sucks that something like a puke curtain and an unwillingness to resolve it could wreck an otherwise decent stay.

I came to check in, and the elevator is not working. Then I got a room on the 4 floor and I told them that I am too old to work ona 4 floor. He said ok, and give me the same room again. Then they changed to the first floor, but the key to the room did not work. Then, when I got to the room , the TV did not work. They changed my room to 2 floor.
