| - Hubby and I spent three nights at this location this past week. Our room with a king bed, was spacious and nicely furnished, the bathroom was a two-parter, with tub/shower and toilet separated from the vanity area - a truly nice touch. I had several relatively minor complaints, which detracted from my enjoyment.
1. The night we checked in, the owners/managers had apparently just finished their dinner in their own apartment, and the odor of fried Asian food permeated the halls. It wasn't noticeable in our room, but outside the room, it was strong and somewhat nauseating.
2. I purchased a soft drink from the machine that was badly badly out of date. The date on the bottom was either 2008 or 2011, I wasn't sure how to read it, but it was NASTY. In defense of the owners, they did refund my dollar.
3. The bathroom in our room is badly in need of some safety bars and a non-slip applied to the tub bottom. I nearly slipped and fell in the shower.
4. The WI-FI was intermittent and slow. I would leave my laptop and come back to do something, only to have to disconnect and reconnect.
5. I don't understand why, when I left the newspaper strewn all over the floor, it wasn't picked up and discarded. Instead, it was put back in order and left on the floor!! It seems that the couple who own/manage the location are the only staff around - we didn't see another soul except the husband and wife.
6. The breakfast provided is monotonous. Boiled eggs and yogurt in the fridge, commercially wrapped pastries that one can buy at the nearest 7-11, and really bad orange juice.
This hotel is on a street that is being torn up for extension of the light rail and can be difficult to reach at certain times. The neighborhood is older and not in the best of shape, but we had no problems. For the price - $141.00 for three nights - I would stay again.
