8/10 Good
"Front desk (Enrique, you da man!) and bartender (Eliza, you da woman!) were so excellent and helpful. Breakfast was good, got the day off to a good start. Great location. Randomly, one night I played Cards against Humanity with some drag queens. This was after discovering the comedy club right down the street at Quinn's Lighthouse. It was a good experience. The only downside: the housekeeping was kinda lite. One day out of 4 it was great (normal - beds made, trash emptied). The other days not."

"I have seen a lot of bad reviews on this place but moving to the area for a new job this place has been a safety net. I got a 4th floor room and stayed two weeks while searching for an apartment and had no complaints. Never saw any bugs. Elevators suck and train is loud, but the area is great. Restaurants, bars, theater, ferry, BevMo, and close to work. Staff is friendly and helpful."
