I had one night booked in this hotel. Couldn’t sleep because of the loud noises of trains and pedestrians beeping noises, it’s located in the corner of intersection and train track. Not good.

Used to be a great place to stay, but look elsewhere as they no longer offer bag storage facilities if you get there before check in. I was lucky that they had the room ready by 12pm, but that would be the exception not the rule. Also for $200 a night, how hard is it to have a microwave or toaster in the room?

Old building and no proper table for check in
I just think that 10 am is very late to run a hotel business to check people in and on the other hand it’s hard to find staff to ask about hotel concerns after midnight because this place is also a sports bar and it gets very busy

We had a room next to the rooftop bar and it was very hard to sleep with the noise, the hotel did supply earplugs which says it all. The food was fantastic
