Renovated or new hotel
Free parking and breakfast
A little noisy and close to the hospitals
The room was just big enough for the King size bed but the bed was actually VERY comfortable
My room was muggy even with AC on
The room had a tiny fridge

Check-in was quick. However the cable tv went out early evening and wasn’t available for the night. The windows in the lobby look like they haven’t been cleaned for months and was especially noticeable when the morning sun was shining in. If you get a room facing 17th street be prepared for a lot of street noise from traffic throughout the night.

Everything was ok, the only thing I don’t gave them a 5 star is because they serve the same stuff for breakfast every day. I love omelettes but after three days…
