    • Still under construction. No restaurant. Pump room closed till late Sept. Good rate but not worth it. Bare white room. That's what you get.

    • They now have WiFi. Nice place, or will be when the reno's done.

    • My wifi sucks, Room smells like fresh paint. Bad location, no food in the hotel, offers nothing but a large white room and windows. Workers know nothing about "where to go". They are no help.

    • This hotel in under lobby renovations and only has 1 working elevator- the size of a stand up shower! Avoid it.

    • The hotel has been renovated. It's gorgeous and definitely worth it! Completely modern now, and I can still smell the fresh paint. No free wifi though....

    • Dirty carpets, peeling wallpaper, tiny TV. This hotel blows.

    • Try to get a room somewhere else because for the money and the room you get it's definitely not worth it...and NO wifi!

    • Make sure you ask for a room where the wallpaper isn't peeling off the walls, the carpets don't have disgusting stains throughout, and the lampshades aren't falling apart.

    • make sure if you're on the 7th or 8th floor to get a room away from the ice machine, a bit loud sometimes. otherwise this hotel is charming, great home away from home.

    • If old neighborhood charm is your thing this place has it, but it needs to modernize their services like their wifi - a hassle considering the ease of other venues. It took nearly an hour to fix #FAIL
