Not sure if my 1st review was posted but to sum it up hospitality and customer service was great. The place itself appears dingy and VERY MOTEL like. Pictures shown when I first booked were NOT THE ONES that are now online for reference. So beware of that...Everything appears much bigger in pictures and nicer. The KING size inside entrance rooms are better than the ones on the outside. I did not try free bkfast so am not able to speak about that. Other than that, with the right shoes, you can make a right and walk down three blocks towards Broadway and you will see the beginning of all the fun!

The hotel looks a little run down from the outside, but the room was very nice. I had a little issue on the first night because a group of people congregated on the outside hallway/patio outside my room from 1am to 2:30am and disturbed my sleep. Also, if they give you the rooms right across from the elevators, ask to be moved. There is lots of noise from the machinery and people at all hours.

Be aware that this hotel property is currently in an area of heavy construction. The “upgraded” king suite was micro-tiny, with over-sized furniture (making the room actually dangerous). However, it was clean. The whole experience seemed like it was an experimental hotel project. Also—$30 parking per-day fee was mandatory (no self-parking). 10-15 min walk to Broadway. On the positive—there’s a fantastic, all-night pizza place in front of the property. If priced at $120 for a weeknight, go for it. If higher, pass.

Property did not look at all like the pictures on expedia. Completely misrepresented. When our car was parked (for a fee) they didn't even lock the doors. The very small room had thin walls and an awful air conditioning unit that woke everyone up sounding like a plane landing when it went on. The worst was a make shift door across the toilet/shower/sink area that didn't even close, leaving 3 or 4 inches. It was an old piece of plywood. It was an outrageous cost for a terrible room.

Pros: hotel staff was friendly, the rooms clean, and proximity to broadway was great, breakfast was good. Cons: staff smoking outside bar area, too many staff working felt odd, hotel entrance smelled, elevator to rooms was inconvenient, stairwell was smelly and creepy. If I had been traveling alone, I would have changed hotels.

Layout was poor. For what we paid, we got ground floor room right next to the sidewalk. Noise through out the night including city sanitation picking up dumpster fills. Employees spent smoke breaks close to our entry and place stunk of cigarettes all day long.
