Pros --- Location is unbeatable. Walk to interesting restaurants and to the river. Subway a block away goes to both ballparks. The breakfast is predictable, but the hotel does a good job of handling the congestion.
Cons --- The rooms are drab and need a rehab. Worse, they aren't well maintained. It seems that the only attention they get is daily cleaning. At this price point, you would assume that someone would periodically inspect them for problems a busy maid might overlook. The bathroom sink didn't drain properly. The bar faucet leaked a little to the side, spraying some water on the wall. The shower custain clasps (that hold the curtain to the rod) were so bent that the curtain kept coming loose. The bedroom door vaneer was separating from the door core, and some carpenter staples had been used for a temporary repair. The staples were loose; clothing caught on them; and they fell out. Some breakfast cereal was behind the couch. It's not an excuse for a hotel to say that it depends on guests to alert them to these things. Busy guests complain about what they need immediately (a toilet plunged) and not issues like the ones I listed here. In addition, if you anticipate doing some self-service laundry, consider staying in a different suites hotel. This hotel has one washing machine and two dryers, and they are ancient. Each dryer would take nearly two hours (and many, many coins) to dry a load that a home dryer would handle in about 40 minutes. People waited and waited to use these machines. A suites hotel of this size, used by families, needs at least three washers and three dryers, and a hotel priced like this one should supply machines that are not so old that they appear to have been installed during the Reagan administration.
