The water pressure in the shower was non-existent. The room must have previously had a pet stay (it was an accessible room) because my allergies were totally set off.

Too noisy. Walls are too thin. The sliding door into bathroom is a bad design. If you pull on it it will crash into the sink since it swings freely

This place is very "hip". Loved the decor and vibe. Room/bed was very comfortable. Front desk staff was friendly. Breakfast was not free -- had to be purchased. Decent prices/selection for breakfast -- included made-to-order stuff and "grab and go" options.
