I got a room from HT for $105, which seemed to be a good deal, on surface.

Once I checked in, my room was dark, furnishings looked dated, windows faced walls and back alleys. Rather depressing.

Staff apparently lacked listening skills.

Personally, I'd pay a little more to stay at the Tuscany, where I could spread out and enjoy the view.
