"An older hotel with great character and design. The lighting, 70s design of doors and hallways made it a place I'll return to. Great front desk staff, and they made it easy for me to extend my checkout time. Nice breakfast and wine time in the evening. It may be a somewhat difficult place for people with mobility challenges, but otherwise, you'll love it.2023-09-04"

"Comfortable room and accommodating hotel staff. The only disappointment was not being able to access the terrace to watch fireworks on the 4th due to a private function.2015-07-09"
"The hotel was reasonably priced and located in the city center. The room was tiny, but it was adequate, clean, and attractive. No chair, but there wasn't really space for one. The downstairs lounge had comfortable seating, and the restaurant was a pleasant surprise, with good food and service. If you don't need a pool or posh amenities, this is an excellent choice.2022-09-17"

"The hotel was extremely clean, and the employees were nice. The $200 deposit seemed excessive, and I didn't get it back because the staff said my room smelled like smoke; I'm on oxygen and you can't smoke by oxygen tanks. I'll never stay here again.2022-12-28"

"The hotel was centrally located to downtown attractions. The subway to the sports stadiums was just a block away. The room was well-maintained, but the mattresses were worn. The TV was out of service for hours. The elevators were old and slow; be prepared for long waits during peak hours. I'd give this place 2 stars.2019-08-16"

"Great location in the center of everything. The room was clean, but needed better soundproofing. We heard noise from another room, and every beep and siren from the fire station across the street. The bathtub backed up. The hotel staff was accommodating, friendly, and helpful. The bar area was tiny, but the staff was great, and the food was really good. Parking was validated, and the staff validated our parking for 5 PM the day we checked out so we were able to walk around, shop, and eat.2022-10-10"

"An unpleasant experience. I asked for a 1st floor room and was given a room on the top floor far from the elevator. Towels weren't replaced daily unless a request was made in advance. During my 4-day stay, my room was never cleaned. The ice machine was in the basement. The hotel entrance was on a busy street, so loading luggage was inconvenient. Good variety of microwavable breakfast items and liberal breakfast hours.2021-08-21"
"Our room was clean, the bedsheets were fresh, and the carpet wasn't stained. The bathroom had new fixtures, and the shower had a glass door. The decor was spartan, but it was a good value. The hotel lobby was large, clean, and bright, with laminate flooring. The elevators were clean. Located in a seedy neighborhood, but it's a good option. 2021-07-12"

At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
