Good all around except issue both on check in and check out .Upgrading their software/ PMS they had not transferred our booking so looked like we had no reservation. Took 2 of them several minutes to book us in. Frustrating as had been emailed day before to check in online with all our details(like airline)otherwise our booking would be seen as a no show .On checkout found they had not connected rooms for charging so delay while connected 2 room booking so could settle with one payment

Shabby hotel with poor service

Rooms and lobby are run down and shabby. No way this hotel deserves 8/10 stars. More like a solid 6. Front desk clerks were having a computer system problem (without realizing it). Swiped my credit card multiple times telling me it was declined. It wasn’t. They charged my card 4 times before I started getting Chase notifications on my phone with all the charges. They were insulting and incompetent. Perhaps if your system is down don’t insult the guests.

Love it

Great old hotel, very different from the other chains. Love the older charm and right across the street from The Drake, another cool hotel. Price here was great as well, although I do really get tired of the price not reflecting the 'resort fees'.
