"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"
