Needs improvement.
Mold in bathroom shower. Very outdated place. Housekeeping vacuuming and talking very loud in hallway at 9am. We were the only ones in the restaurant and all the tables were all dirty. Will go somewhere else next time.

Great place. Just a few items to correct
The hotel has fun retro decor, hvac worked great, bed was comfortable, service in the food hall was excellent. Issue noted: not enough towels in the room for 2 people. Asked at front desk for more. They had none on hand but would have housekeeping deliver. Waited an hour. No towels. Showered and dried with hand towel. Towels arrived as we were leaving. No body wash in shower, a touch of organic growth non shower at bi-pass door caulking. Better care should be taken to ensure bathroom is well stocked and clean for next guests. Count on multiple guests by putting more than 2 towels in a room, particularly if your policy is not to refresh daily.

It’s old and run down. It looks like everything is from a garage sale. It smells old. It doesn’t feel like a 4 star hotel at all.
