my partner & i wanted a cheap place to stay during a conference - we refused to pay over $100 for some fancy pants hotel. the Astoria Hotel was decent enough: cheap, convenient location, friendly staff. i'd second what the other reviewers have said, the staff is nice, but not overly friendly or helpful. we were promised an iron. our room didn't have one, but we were able to get one from the front desk. our room was ridiculously tiny, but we didn't care b/c we just wanted somewhere to eat, shower, and sleep.
BUT...we found a beetle-ish bug on our bed one night & then (after we left the hotel) i noticed that i had several bites. i didn't know what a bedbug was, so i looked it up when i got home & sure enough, the bug we saw on our linens was a bedbug & the bites i had were bedbug bites. i don't think they're exactly "infested" - we didn't find any other bugs - but i do have several bites. contacted the hotel, but the staff wasn't very responsive (back to that not overly friendly/helpful business).
