This hotel seems to be getting long in the tooth and definitely needs updating. The location is a bit inconvenient for walking (you can either wait through several lights to cross a highway, or do an overhead walk built for the park across the street.
The room had fresh paint and wallpaper and no complaints about the marriott standard beds. The shower needed a serious regrouting or at least bleaching.
Pros:
1. Friendly and helpful staff
2. Pretty lively bar.
3. Close to the metro (but see above for the awkward placement)
4. A little cheaper and more available than several nearby upmarket hotels
Cons:
1. Dated, not sparkling bathroom
3. Cramped, awkward layout (especially the bathroom)
