Pros (+) I liked the location and the size of the room.
Cons (-) Could not regulate the ac so the room was either way too cold or too hot. No ice. To drain the tub after your shower you had to lift a contraption near the tub which worked. I've just never seen anything like that before. There were stains on the carpet under the table. The 2 elevators are so small we could barely get 3 people in with our luggage. Not enough outlets.
Pros (+) Close to subways and amenities. Nothing fancy, but comfortable. Staff is very helpful.
Pros (+) Yogurt, granola and apples available anytime Free DVD lending service Comfortable beds; jet tub bath Noise level tolerable with fan on - being close to downtown means noisy streets
Pros (+) Location Roof Top Bar Affordable Free Yogurt

Pros (+) Décor, location, and friendliness of staff
Cons (-) no fan in the bathroom so my smoke detector went off at 5:30 in the morning following my shower.
