This was the best bang for our buck this weekend, so I was able to get past the fact that the hotel workers were on strike picketting outside the hotel, along with the fact that a good portion of the guest rooms were being rehabed and it was a tad dusty. However, we were assigned a room that was the fire escape, as in in the event that there was a fire, everyone on our floor would have to come through our room to get to the fire escape. Upon returning to the hotel after our night out in the city, we attempted to get a soda ($1.50) from the vending machine on our floor, but it just took the money and produced no soda nor a refund. When we attempted to alert the front desk, we had to call 3 times before anone answered. When we finally did speak to someone, they did not offer a refund, but said they would put an "Out of order" sign on the machine, but for the rest of our stay, it never received one. The onsite restruant is also closed for lunch (even on Saturday!). All in all, you get what you pay for, if that.
