The glass elevator is wonderful; it gives the hotel a feeling of bygone grandeur. My son thought the beds were very comfy. The bathroom door got stuck and if someone was in the room alone, they might be trapped. The front desk man didn’t seem too concerned when we told him it should be looked at. The breakfast was cheap but provided decent options.

I’m sure this was once a lovely hotel for convention center attendees. The area is a little concerning, people living in old RVs in the back parking lot. Room clean but stained carpet, older furniture and bathrooms in need of an upgrade. However for a dog friendly hotel for one night, it meets our needs.
