Rooms need attention! This used to be such a beautiful property, but is now in need of a lot of attention.

It’s a perfect location for enjoying all that downtown has to offer, so I hope updates & repairs for the rooms are planned soon!

This place has potential BUT…breakfast is at 7, not 6:30 as sign says. Def not free- $55 for omelette , pancakes, bacon and an orange juice. 1/4 elevators working. No carts. Ice only on 10th floor. No store, limited bar- limited people! But I will say they let us have a late checkout. Assuming they have trouble getting business most days.

Never saw housekeeping for the duration of my 3 day stay. We ran out of soap and body wash that took 1 day to get. The back entrances were taped shut. The courtyard was dirty and every night had homeless in it. The only hotel ive stayed at that doesnt offer a continental breakfast. It did offer a buffet for $30 per person. The air conditioner barely worked. The first night it was 79°, after i complained and they came to fix it, it went down to a balmy 74 (sarcasm) overall would not recommend at all
