Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was very small, could barely fit one person sideways on the side of the bed that’s close to the windows. Only one roll of toilet paper was provided, and the elevator takes 2 years because there are only 2 for the 38 floors of people maintenance people share the same elevators. Would not recommend, might be better off spending the extra $50 to go right next door to Sonesta.
