I expected hotel to be nicer..rooms are not what the pictures show. It’s older and no iron or blow dryer in rooms, towels were old, no wash towels.Toilet was clogged when we got there already but was fixed quickly. FYI ..The shower has no door/privacy. No comforters only a flat sheet to cover yourself. The only thing that I like was cold ac, the rooftop pool, bartenders were nice and that is close to 5ta ave but I wouldn’t stay there again. Oh and the parking garage is horrible not enough space to move your vehicle around to be able to park.
