1. The elevators are slow but the staff is nice.

"Not your standard business hotel but nice. " Read full review on TripAdvisor 11/8/2011 Vote

2. A couple of other suggestions to improve things: 1) I would rather have glass and ceramic cups in the rooms the over syrofoam ones, 2) there should be a way to have the room ready upon arrival, rather than having to wait soooo long to be placed, it makes check-in take too long and 3) the elevator is too slow.

3. If the staff of the horrible restaurant hadn't been so slow and mean - the price and location may have outshined the shabbiness, but they really left a lasting impression.

"Cheap rates, good location but dubious cleanliness and wretched service. " Read full review on TripAdvisor 7/19/2011 Vote

4. Mini fridge missing, but didn't need it for one night, the elevator was unusually slow for 5-floors, and ice machine in the lobby.

"Friendly staff, free breakfast, exceptional view from rooftop patio room. " Read full review on TripAdvisor 6/13/2011 Vote

5. Two elevators are available - one extremely slow and noisy (doors needed lubricated), and the other remote and available only after climbing a flight of stairs (odd?).

7. Negative about this hotel: the free WiFi is extremely slow and the bathroom as a huge glass door, so you don't have any privacy, whatever you're doing, literally.

"Nice hotel! " Read full review on TripAdvisor 7/30/2010 Vote

8. Seriously?? Where to begin - spending $170 and getting no parking, one (very slow) elevator to serve well over the 100+ people staying there that evening, the room had no AC and smelled like wet towels.

9. Very slow elevators with stinky stairwells as alternate route.
