Not being familiar with the city, I wasn't sure really where to book but this place got good reviews and we only needed a place for 1 night. There is a small older style elevator to take us upstairs - it fit the two of us and our 2 large suitcases and that was all! The other option was a steep staircase so very happy for the elevator.
The room was small but had all the basics: good-sized bar fridge, comfortable bed, microwave, coffee-maker, iron and ironing board, large mirror. The room also has a ledge next to the window which was big enough to open up our suitcases on, which was good because there wasn't any room on the floor to do so. The free high-speed wireless was great.
There were a large range of options for breakfast (included in the price): waffle iron, tea, cofee, orange juice, apple juice, 2 types of cereal, toast, fruit, mini muffins.
The staff were friendly and held our bags after we'd checked out as we didn't have to leave the city until later in the day.
The hotel is a $6 taxi cab ride from the train station (30th St Station) and we could walk to most of the places that we wanted to go from the hotel.
We felt safe at this hotel.
