Great location, close to everything. I got the family group with 6 beds and 2 bathrooms. The interior looked like it just got renovated, very clean and nice. The exterior like the hallway and the lobby need an upgrade. The food court in the basement was a plus, so many choices and everything was delicious,such as the fluffy pancakes (no need to get on long lines at other places). Definitely would stay here again.

Heard all actions of the hall way through the Door, as if there’s No door …! Very scary!
Heard also talking from neighing room!
How is “zero noise insulation “ possible for a hotel that is so emblematic?
Pity the location is so favorable !

It is super convenient across from the station and easily seen from a distance. The room was fine and clean. The elevators smelt a little musty which I was taken aback by, but the rest of the hotel, including my room smelled fine.
