No soundproof walls as advertised Selective cleaning of the room. ##### Sean Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Sara Dec 29, 2025 Liked: Staff & service The hotel staff were extremely friendly and helpful. There is free to go breakfast but I didn’t find much of items I cared for. There is also a microwave, vending machine, and coffee bar in the basement that we used quite a lot. The room itself could have used some improvements. There were several burn marks on the furniture from prior guests. The ventilation above the toilet dripped water consistently onto the toilet/sink area. Overall it was a convenient and safe place to stay. The hvac and TV worked great. The maid was friendly and changed our towels daily. I would stay here again. ##### Sara Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carlee Sep 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Great location if you’re going to an event at Barclays Center.
