the location was acceptable. it was close to transportation.
The room lighting was too dim, it made everything look dingy. the pictures online really misled me. The lighting in those pictures gave a very false impression. also, the shower water stayed cold. Even with only the hot tap running, it never warmed up.

the front counter staff was great. we arrived early intending to drop off luggage. they took our number and advised when the room was ready sooner than expected. the proximity to attractions met my expectations. the room was clean and well appointed.
the cold shower was disappointing, even with only the hot tap on. i think the bathroom could use some pest control. the wardrobe was small and difficult to use for luggage storage.

The location is awesome. It is so close to the Capitol Theatre. This made seeing a show super easy. Central Station is also just two blocks away. Getting around town became easy. The buffet breakfast was really delicious too. They have a huge variety of hot food options. The pastries tasted fresh.
The walls seemed pretty thin so I could hear some street noise.
