Room was so small, you literally turned around and bumped into one another. No amenities in the bathroom outside of shampoo and conditioner and 1 small bar of soap for 2 days. Continuous construction on Saturday and Sunday beginning at 6:45am with loud beeping all day long. Hotel should NOT book these rooms knowing this. In all fairness, they did comp our dinner and breakfast due to the lack of sleep. The Berkeley Restaurant on the ground floor is very good.There is no lobby to speak of other than a few chairs and now understand that this building was originally the police headquarters. We chose it for the location but based on price, there are many far superior hotels in the area. Would not stay here again.
