Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Proximity to the Coop and LB kitchen. Neighborhood. And always enjoy the decor and friendly staff, when I see them.

Negative: There was a party that came in around 2:30a and they were extremely loud in the hallways. They proceeded down to the lobby and hung out there-whooping and having a great time, which I don’t begrudge them-for 2 more hours! I called the BEH phone number and spoke with someone who assured me he would check out the situation promptly. Not sure that that ever happened. Nothing changed, until they all went to bed. I have stayed at BEH many times and this has never happened, but I do think it’s worth mentioning. Needless to say, little sleep was had that morning.

Summary: Ok but not as usual.
