The room was clean and provided enough space for my wife and 12 year old daughter. Room had 1.5 bathrooms which was a plus. Check-in was smooth and the front desk allowed us to get in the room over an hour early before 3pm.

I find the room/stay a very good value. The location is convenient for my purpose of the trip - only a block and an half to the 6 train. Not sure what the facility fee was about - there is no pool, nor has anyone informed me a gym.

Staff was outstanding. Housekeeping was perfect. The only thing that keeps this from being 5 stars was the slooooow wifi in the room. My husband found the coffee area to be a little awkward, but I was really happy to have dishes, glasses and flatware
