HOTELS.COM Poor hotel GREAT!!!
I did have an issue but it was not the fault of the hotel it was HOTELS,COM with the deceiving images and not making it clear that my room choice had a shared bathroom which is hard to believe exists in 2024. The hotel nwas very good because they fixed problem and probvide me a proper room.

Super basic stay
This was my fourth or fifth time staying here over the past 10 years. The quality of the hotel has gone way down in that time. Everything is very clean and safe, it’s just starting to show its age. The walls are thin so you will hear every door in the hallway opening and closing. The mattresses are not comfortable. There is no ventilation in the shared bathrooms so they can be very stuffy. It’s just clear that no investment is being made to keep the property up which is a shame because it used to be really nice.

This was a great place to stay if you’re traveling solo and only need a place to sleep and shower. The pods are pretty small but cozy. The location is phenomenal with subway stations and bus stops literally a couple blocks away. I stayed here to attend a convention, and I would gladly stay here again.
