Hotel at a low price compared to others in the area, good location with several bus and streetcar stops 5 minutes away. Dated rooms with minimal amenities, what I expected for the price paid.

I got this room on discount with Expedia otherwise the place is just too expensive for me to afford. Most middle class people would say that $140 per night is too much for such a simple room. There is no way to make a cup of real coffee, no wash clothes or hand towels. No ice machine for cold drinks. No micorwave to be found anywhere. The fridge is on that are found in dorm rooms at colleges. Strange noises at night. Could it be the heating system that turns on at around 3am? All of the hotel staff work at a hotel across the street one block away. Check in at the other hotel and check there. No one to be found on staff at the Herbert Hotel.

Location and Service- Not much more.
Scratchy towels, no AC and slow Wifi. Luckily the weather is good in October so we immediately opened the windows to get some air. The bed is awful! We could feel all of the springs. And the toilet was broken. We had to keep fixing the plug to get it to flush. However the girls at checkin were great! Customer service and location makes this hotel. Also the bottles of soap and shampoo were watered down. One bottle was broken. Just a lot of little things could have made this place better.
