Old hotel, most notably with regard to the elevator and bathroom, but clean and comfortable, fairly quiet. No ice available in the hotel - could get small amounts from the restaurant next door. Shower water was luke warm at best regardless of how long you let it warm up. No discounts to park in local garages. But staff was friendly and as I mentioned, the room was clean
