1. Pros:Locationvery nice staffclean rooms with decent, but very average decorgood breakfast (bagels, breads, pastries, coffee)lots of neighborhood restaurants and stores at your doorstepCons:Hotel is older, no double-pain windows, A/C units are old, bathrooms have no ventsRooms are on small sideNot very close to trains3 miles north of downtown (traffic can be nerve wrecking at commute)no free parking, but I have some tips on that below, no LCD televisions and few cable channels (if you were raised by a television like me)wi-fi is typical hotel slow (but fast enough for very basic browsing)Yes, lots of cons, but if you enjoy eating out, having Starbucks, Walgreens, Trader Joe's, boutique shops at your doorstep then this is your best bet.
