They're REALLY close to each other (3 blocks - maybe a 5 minute walk), so the location doesn't matter to me. I'm more curious about the rooms. I stayed at the Bellevue a few years ago, pre rennovation, and the rooms were quite rundown. The room honestly looked like a boarding house from the 1950s that hadn't be maintaned since then. It was badly in need to rennovations. That's why I'm curious how the rooms in the Bellevue are like now, post-rennovation.
I've had good experiences with the rooms I've had at the Centric, so if they're not much better than before, I'll probably pick the Centric over the Bellevue
