From the moment I checked in, everything was terrific! Love our kind attendant, asked her questions about the area, and she was humble, kind, and knowledgeable. The room was clean, and they were great with upkeep. Hard to find good parking and don't expect a view—but the location is perfect! Main critique: Rooms don't have mini-fridges or microwaves. Deal breaker in the future.

The woman at the front desk was amazing and understanding. A fantastic historic hotel. Was not disappointed. The dark tile in the bathroom was a bit depressing though.

It’s an okay economy hotel. My first night was weird since I kept bumping into rotten fruits in the hotel corridors and lobby. The escalator had bad odors and the AC was very noisy, however necessary since it was 30ºC outside.

Reception was poor with staff who were unwelcoming. We had to ask for WiFi code and it was a very weak signal. No coffee in room, shower curtain and blinds were broken. No hand soap just a little soap for shower. Very disappointed and won’t use again.

Terrible experience. Water didn't work upon check in for over 24 hours, when approaching the lady at the front desk during the day she laughed at me, said 'im just a happy person'. How are you laughing while guests are miserable without water? Stay away.
