I've stayed there a couple of times, but not in the past year or so. There isn't anything special with the property. The only thing that bothered me while I was there, was the street noise. The room was on the side of the building, and there was a lot of traffic noise coming through the window in the middle of the night. I changed rooms the next day, to a room that overlooks the river and ball park. A lot less noise, and something to look at.
The hotel shuttle dropped me off at Strong when I asked for a ride. It seemed if they weren't busy with runs, they would take you where you wanted to go.
