Mostly great. Decent price, friendly staff, early check-in/out options, comfortable accommodations. Very good wifi. My only gripe is that the windows aren't well sound-proofed, so the partiers down on the street were quite loud, even on the 3rd floor. I'd stay here again, but only if other options weren't available.
