The photos this property uses in advertising did not match the room we had. We knew when we walked up to the room and saw the dingy curtains that this was not going to be a great stay. The sheets and towels were stained and the lowest quality possible. The location was nice and the staff were nice, and that's about the end of the positives. There were hairs in the shower and on the shower curtain. I would not stay here again, but it was ok for one night.

The pictures are very different from in person view. The positives first. The staff were very friendly. The breakfast was good eggs, bacon, sausages and pancakes. For the very outdated construction of the building it was clean. The room was clean. I did notice cameras in the hallways. Don’t know if they were operational but they were there. The building was repurposed and outdated. Only one elevator on the outside was accessible. One working ice machine was on the four floor This property is a 10 min walk to Broadway. The walk coming back is inclined
