Early check in was most definitely not allowed. Late check out involved our card getting deactivated and us having to go to the front desk to get it reactivated. The room itself was good. This was by far the quietest room in the city we've found. Bed was quite comfortable. Very clean. Excellent location. Laundry facilities are located in basement of the building and are coin operated. There is a restaurant in the foyer for breakfast and dinner on certain evenings.
