The hotel appears to be quite new. Everything is very new, clean, and fresh. The decor is, however, a rather dark and dreary brown-grey and with dark metal semi-industrial accents. The sleeping room lights were few and dim, which made a dark decor even darker. Thankfully, the bathroom was well lit.
After I booked the hotel emailed me that there would be a $50 per day "destination" charge automatically applied to my bill, from which they'd deduct any food and drink purchased in the hotel. This fee was not disclosed ahead of time, nor could it be waived.
The location is a short 2 blocks from the subway and there's plenty of shopping around.
