Everything was fine except for the shower. The drain was clogged, and dirty water floated uo into shower floor. Manager said they would fix it and offered a discount.But she told me that I would have to get it from Expedia, because I booked it through a third party. We laughed, because we know Expedia is impossible to deal with. Recommend that people find things with Expedia, but book directly through a hotels own website, as a result of this bad experience.

Desk staff was very helpful in that she changed our room so we didn’t have to go up and down 6 stairs to our room. Rooms were quaint, but would have liked a microwave and refrigerator in the room.

The elevator was tiny and stairs were steep and narrow. Breakfast was for tour groups only and it was not available for purchase. Staff were not friendly or helpful. The room and bathroom were small and the shower was tiny. The exhaust fan in the bathroom was very noisy.

We had a nice three night stay at the Strater. Be sure to ask about the hidden features in the lobby area. The staff members were friendly and helpful, especially Jericho at the front desk. The rooms do not have fridges but each floor has an ice machine. You can also sign up to use the hotel’s jacuzzi. The atmosphere and music make it a fun place to stay.

The checkin process was simple. That's where the good experience ended. The room we were given, Room 106, was located downstairs from the main floor, in rhe back of the hotel. The windows could not be opened either for light or fresh air, as they were located directly on a busy downtown sidewalk. The room was overcrowded with large furniture and, consequently, claustraphobic, stuffy, and uncomfortable. The bathroom sink was knee-level and there was standing water in the tub/shower. We had reserved 2 nights, but only stayed for 1, since it was so awful.
