3. Super location but with gps not able to get a signal, construction on many roads and preparations for lala-pallooza, it took me 45 minutes to get there.

"Great hotel but hard to get to with all the construction " Read full review on TripAdvisor 8/7/2011 Vote

4. But again, you must consider how it was originally constructed - hotel rooms weren't huge and sprawling - and bathrooms were very utilitarian and minimal.

"Gotta stay here at least once " Read full review on TripAdvisor 12/12/2010 Vote

5. I was a bit hesitant because of some of the Trip Advisor reviews that suggested it was noisy due to old construction.

"Great downtown location " Read full review on TripAdvisor 1/16/2010 Vote

6. Also it was one block away from most buses, the red line and 2 blocks away from the blue making travel from the airport affordable (although they had construction so the trains were running in sections with bus service in lieu of train service - really annoying).

"Decent Stay, Good Location but.... " Read full review on TripAdvisor 10/8/2009 Vote

7. it is not a newly constructed hotel and that is part of its charm - it is a historic hotel.

"good value for location, some minor drawbacks, ask for what you want " Read full review on TripAdvisor 6/22/2009 Vote

8. but unfortunately, right now it`s under construction, which makes getting to and from the hotel a bit uncomfortable - traffic congestion and one entrance is completely closed.

"Beautiful Historic Hotel - currently under construction " Read full review on TripAdvisor 9/24/2008 Vote
