Stayed here while in town for a memorial service, and combination flight with hotel for 3 nights on Travelocity saved us nearly $600 vs. airfare alone, so including the hotel was a no-brainer. We figured if it was terrible, we would just stay with our family in the area.
We arrived very late (1am-ish) and desk help was polite and helpful. Check in took about 90 seconds and we were off to our room. Elevator did make some funny noises, but it ultimately did its job. Room was clean, but a bit run down. It was about 14 degrees outside, and at first the room was very cold and the heater blew cold air, but as we were getting ready to call and ask for a different room, the desk clerk called us to see if everything was okay and if we needed anything. When we told of the cold air, he told us it takes about 10 minutes, and if after that it still didn't work, he'd put us in another room. Sure enough, after 10 minutes, we had hot hot heat!
Beds were VERY comfortable. When our family offered to let us stay on their sofa beds instead of downtown, we politely declined due to the high comfort level in the queen size beds.
Our room had a nice view of the river, and while it was noisy at times due to nearby doors slamming, party in adjacent room and its location right next to the elevator, it was a decent room. The heater was on full blast during the night, so it drowned out most of the noise. If we hadn't had the heater on full blast all night long, the noise from other guests would probably have been a problem. The two sinks are a plus.
There is a breakfast available each morning from 6-10, but it was very basic fare...OJ, coffee, cereal and fruit. Better than nothing, but nothing special.
I am used to staying in full service hotels, and a bit spoiled in that way, so I was concerned that I'd be unhappy, but I was pleasantly surprised. Really we just needed a comfortable place to crash, and it fit the bill perfectly. Even on the days when we had the Do Not Disturb sign on the door, we'd come back at the end of the evening and find a bag hanging on the outside of the door, full of fresh towels. I thought that was especially nice, and made a hotel with few amenities very pleasant.
