Room was large, clean and bed was good. Pillows just OK. Sink didn’t drain very well. Problem was parking. We arrived later, around 7 PM and was told that the lot was full and we had to park on the street. It was snowing slippery and literally no street parking available. My wife told the person at the desk that we wanted our money back and we were leaving. He finally admitted there were a 1-2 places left in the lot and by the time I got to the lot it was the last open spot. When I reserved the room I was told that I could not pre-reserve a parking spot. The only way I would stay here again was if I could get to the hotel by 3-4 PM for a parking spot and take Ubers around town. It was nice having the restaurant attached ( music was way too loud at breakfast however).

The room was clean. Check in was easy. Felt safe and quiet from outside noise. The walls are thin. The bed is hard and squeaks when you move. The pillows have no support and the sheets were scratchy. From what i could tell, no way to change the temperature in the room.

The front desk staff is so welcoming and helpful. Room was very clean and so nice to have all the amenities with the kitchenette. Went down to The Knick right inside the hotel and had a couple great appetizers and fantastic drink from the weekly specials menu. Our server, Nick H, was the best! Very engaging and entertaining! Overall, my stay was 5 stars because that's the treatment I was given

The front desk was attentive and the room was spacious and in a decent condition considering its age. However, there were a few things that affected what would have otherwise been a positive experience. Firstly, there was a strong odor of marijuana in the elevators and hallway that was especially apparent at night. Secondly, the soundproofing in the rooms is lacking, as I was woken up by my next door neighbors engaging in “activities” around 3am.
