No frills to the nth degree. Our room was 10x10. No iron unless you go down to the lobby to use it…read more Their "security" is a joke. You leave your key with them when you leave the premises, but many times, there's no one there when you return so we all just walked behind the desk and retrieved a key for ourselves!
Elevator can comfortably hold 3 standing adults without large purses, or 1 adult with luggage.
NOT accessible to anyone who has mobility issues who needs a scooter or wheelchair. Considering how premium space is in the elevator, I watched 3 staff members get in and leave several customers waiting instead of taking the stairs during the times of peak usage. The elevator also hasn't been programmed to complete a task. For example; carry all those going up then stopping at the floors going down. Instead it stops at all floors canceling the call at the floor. Again, seeing staff members taking up precious space really irked me.
We had an empty soap container in our shower so had to get out while dripping to squirt some from the sink. After our shower, we removed the empty container & threw it away & put the full one from the sink on the shower floor (didn't want to break the connection points). That evening we saw a new soap container at the sink only to find in the morning when we took our showers again, they had just put the original one back and we were dripping across the floor once again to get soap!
Breakfast was doable, nothing to write home about. Standard cold cuts, bread, jam, cereal & yogurt. Nothing hot.
Area around the hotel is going downhill with a lot of graffiti and homeless camped out around the corner near the park & metro entrance.
Not all was bad. I'm giving it 2 stars because the gentleman during the day shift at the reception desk was helpful and fluent in English.
