This is an old hotel, and it looked like a lot of areas were undergoing repair or construction. My room's bathroom was rather old and the water pressure was not great. On the up side, it was the most affordable hotel near the city center area that I could find. I guess you get what you pay for.

It is a lovely building. I was so thrilled that it is still in the condition it's in, which is very good. It made me miss those style of hotels from my childhood!

It was my worst experience in US so far. I do not recommend this hotel to anyone. There was no room service at all and the price quoted definitely did not make any sense for the services offered. I would like to say that do not go to this hotel. They are cheats. The rooms do not have A/C. The bed linens are old and not cleaned. Some bathrooms do not have shower curtains and no door locks. Overall a horrible experience!!! Not worth the money at all.

I was not impressed at all! We checked in and my name was not on the reservation list. I was given someone else's room. Went to the room and it smelled. Pulled the sheets and there was hair. Asked for replacement sheets and was given a bunch of sheets and pillow cases. One of the windows had plexy glass and could not be closed. The bed was in terrible conditions. The carpet had not been cleaned. The refrigerator was unplugged and leaking on the carpet. The microwave was filthy. Someone was caughing up a lung all night next door. NOT HAPPY!
