The room I got faced an internal shaft. It had no natural light! The staff seemed unconcerned. the complimentary breakfast consisted of only donuts and yogurt. I expected more from a hotel like this. I would have preferred a better selection of food.

The location felt unsafe. I observed many homeless individuals and drug addicts near the hotel. I did not feel comfortable walking around the area after dark. The street was also noisy, so it was hard to sleep well.
