TV wasn’t working - informed reception. Was told they would check. When I returned tv still not working. Informed receptionist at check out - she offered a small refund but then retracted as I booked via Expedia! I explained that it should not make any difference how I booked my reservation. She wasn’t at all sympathetic - just said hotel was unserstaffed and it was the weekend?

It was super noisy in our room from construction noise. We didn’t run the AC so we had to open the window. I know this won’t last forever, but it was really noisy all night long!

Loved how close to the train station this hotel is, as well as lots of shopping and dining options right around. The breakfast buffet was very nice.
I was allowed to check in earlier than typical check-in which was super helpful after travel from the U.S.
