loud air conditioning indifferent staff
The room i booked felt quite cramped. It was hard to move around with luggage. the air conditioning unit rattled loudly throughout the night. also, the promised city views were largely obstructed by a neighboring building. the lack of soundproofing was a problem. I could clearly hear conversations and noise from adjacent rooms. it really impacted my overall stay, frustrating. the staff seemed indifferent when i mentioned these issues upon checkout which wasn't great.

subway location early check-in helpful maps
The location near the subway made getting around so easy. I appreciated the early check-in. My bags were already waiting in the room. The staff gave useful maps. They even marked train routes for me (such a great help). Breakfast had amazing options.
The room seemed a little small. It was hard to open a suitcase fully without moving around.
