nice staffdark roomsqueaky tap
The staff were nice enough I suppose the rooftop bar existed so that was something.
The room was a bit of a joke it was so dark I reminded me of I was in a cave the wallpaper didn't help matters. I could barely read at night and that squeaky cold tap ran out of water quickly. I swear they designed the towel hook for giants I could hardly reach it at 5'10'.

the location suited my needs perfectly i attended several performances nearby the lobby had a certain charm i liked. my room included a mini fridge and a window that opened i found these features very useful. the maid service was consistent and thorough i always returned to a tidy space.
i encountered some maintenance issues the bathroom exhaust fan did not function. the climate control system was quite noisy this made it hard to sleep sometimes. the front desk seemed understaffed at times phone calls went unanswered for extended periods.
