"Pro's: Covered, secure parking - albeit expensive. Very comfy beds - pillowtop. Bar in the lobby is great and bar food was excellent. Location great for main street and the street car.
Cons: pretty filthy. Rooms are not clean, so if you are a clean freak, this may not be the hotel for you. Beds were clean "looking," but bathrooms, walls, closets, doors, handles, etc. filthy. Cleaning staff need a supervisor and quality control. Our co2 alarm was ripped out of the wall, just sitting on a ledge. Hallways are dingy and dark. Guest rooms and halls all need an update - especially the old bathrooms.
Breakfast: We paid for daily buffet in advance, unfortunately, buffet is not available if the hotel is low on guests (to "save money and waste.")We were asked to order off a menu and select only 1 entree -no extras. (could not add fruit or oatmeal, for example without paying extra.) Also, gratuity expected because buffet switched to menu service. Food was poor quality in general - cheap ingredients. Very greasy. Coffee awful. My toast was the heel of a cheap loaf of wheat. Honestly, don't pay for the breakfast. There is an amazing bagel cafe at 13th and Main Meshuggahs. Go there. I guess what bugged me the most about breakfast was the server's attitude - acting as if she had no clue why we asking about a buffet when I could see the room behind her with all the buffet serving vessels arranged. She knew what we were confused about."
