I felt bad for the poor guy working. He was so busy! People kept ringing that phone up front! We had a room at the top of the stairs and we could hear every noise from the lobby; it seemed to echo right up to our room.

I ended up not staying because I'm weird and just didn't feel comfortable there. Bathroom was old and a bit run-down. Staff was nice, but couldn't make up for the fact that I didn't feel comfortable there.

Didn't realize this hotel didn't have an elevator and had my elderly father with us. Only room was upstairs. No cups in the room or ice bucket. No conditioner in shower. Didn't bring clean towels. Not staying there again. Stop being cheap and naming it eco friendly.
