Everything about this property was amazing except our room had no remote & the hallways walking to your room smells like an absolute toilet. Although the room itself was clean and smelled fine!

Close to the subway. Convenient location to travel all parts of the city. Staff was incredibly kind and helpful. Very affordable. My only negative was my room was cold, like real cold. That being said, it's December in the mid-west, the buildings old, it's expected. Definitely will stay here again in the future and recommend it to friends.
