A good budget option. Your mileages may vary, but I was looking for a budget option close to st. 172, riverside, and rest of the usual (early) nightlife scene. This place is close enough to the action, but still far enough that street noise won't be a problem. The room was ok: nothing specific to write home about but still clean enough etc. All this said, as a smoker, what I really liked was the 4th floor balcony with spectacular views.
