fantastic location hotel laundromat central station room noise room design old lobby
The location felt very central. i found chinatown just a short walk away, it was dreamy. the laundromat in the hotel was also very convenient for me. I loved this.
the noise at NIGHT was a lot. partying seemed to continue outside until morning, very loud. the room felt small and it was hard to move around freely. the lobby is a little old and it didn't seem attractive.
