We stayed in a deluxe room with 2 queen beds. The room was clean, and it was nice to have the extra space, a fridge, a microwave, and a small kitchen sink. However, there were only 4 hangers, no hair dryer and no coffee maker. I couldnt get the TV to show anything but the USA channel. There were no toiletries other than shampoo and soap attached to the wall of the shower. The bed was ok if you like a mattress that is somehow hard and squishy at the same time. Those who prefer flat, hard pillows will be in heaven. I asked the front desk for extra pillows and hangers, not once but twice, and they never brought any or got back to me. So I didnt see any point in asking for a hair dryer or a coffee maker. On the bright side, this is a good neighborhood for restaurants and coffee shops. This is not the worst hotel Ive stayed at, by a long shot. If the amenities and the customer service had been better, I would stay here again.

I have to go down to the lobby every time I need to get in my room as the key they give says its working but it doesn't. Staff do come up (I'm in the third floor) and they see that all cards aren't working.

after sunrise they are impolite
there was no early check in even though multiple rooms were available that fit my request, the day time clerk was rude and didn't want to assist me with getting checked it, i sat in the cold from 6 am until 11:30 before he even considered helping me, had an attitude for every question i needed answered and the bathroom had a whole in the room , my door was not secure and would not close or lock properly.

Smaller room, not as good as the bigger ones that also have a microwave and a mini-fridge. Get the bigger room if you can :) Other than those nice to have convenience items, this smaller room is clean and comfortable.

Good location, reasonable price. The room looked much better than the outside of the building would suggest. One block over is Chestnut St, where there are tons of coffee shops, boutiques stores, hair salons, even a small grocer. Cool area.
