I've stayed there a few weeks over the past six months and I'll likely keep coming back because of the excellent staff.

The street is little sketchy at times because of the bus terminal across the street, the parole office a few doors down and of course the peep show storefronts.

Now, I have encountered a few problems, namely with the wired internet being down in a few rooms but the staff did everything that they could to make sure that I had what I needed, even if I had to move several times.

The elevator situation can be maddening so I'd suggest staying on a low floor if you don't like waiting.

The dining area is usually very crowded with tourists but if you get there early for breakfast, you'll have plenty of space. It's unfortunate that they don't have more space because the it's difficult to eat in the lounge area. Also, the passage way from the lobby to the dining area is way too tight and they try and encourage more people to go around to the side.

I really like the exercise room there but do wish that there were more than the two channels available on the treadmills. I usually end up running with my iPod and trying to read Bloomburg news, one of the two channels that work there.
