This is a "no frills...no anything" hotel. But for $139 per night, what do you expect.
Issues: Hot water is something you will miss out on here. There were occassions where there was none or the water temp was "luke warm" at best. And if your looking for a bathroom with some room, "furgettabotit". In fact, the one room I stayed in had a toilet at such an "unusual" angle that the only way one could "seat" themselves was sideways. Pillows are another "item" which they seem to miss out on. Their were all "flat" as a pancake. As for any sort of chair (other than the one they give you for the desk) there may or may not be one in your room depending on which one you get.
Rooms are simple and basic. The "closet" is a small "ardmore" style piece of furniture which can allow you to put in 4-6 pieces of clothing and that's about it. There is only one vending machine for the 20 floors...it's on 3 and it's also where the only ice machine is. If you need an iron and ironing board, you have to go to a community closet to see if one is there. If not, then you wander up and down floors and hope you find one in a community closet somewhere.
Want a newspaper? Got to go buy one at the store. Rooms have a coffe maker, small fridge, and a hair dryer. And there is free "wireless" internet but the connection can be a bit shaky and the signal will vary from room to room and floor to floor. In one room having the computer on the floor by the door seemed to give me just enough "signal" strength to actually be used.
Oh yes, housekeeping will gladly leave you "gifts". I was there for several months and found piles of used towels, other bags of garbage, and even cleaning supplies (guess they wanted me to clean my own room).
I know, what do you expect for the money. But realistically, they eliminate most of the staff (you do your own "self checkin" and "self checkout" and there is no valet or even taxi service. So they could invest in "business" amentities that business travelers look for. Afterall, they claim to be a hotel for business travelers!
If your looking for value and nothing more then you might have found your "haven". If your use to traveling like me and having a bit more amenities available to you then you will be disappointed.
