I’ve been staying at this hotel for almost 40 years. It’s never been fancy, but it used to be comfortable. Not any more!! - Our AC didn’t work and our room was about 83 degrees over our 3 day stay. We had to sleep with open windows and no screens. The air quality was terrible due to a fire in NJ. They refused to switch us to another room. Always an excuse. The AC never was never fixed in the entire three days!!! It was very uncomfortable! We tried to avoid being in the room. Also: No one ever answers the phone at the front desk…ever!! G-d forbid someone has an emergency!! We paid extra for a “deluxe” room, and this was the situation. Little annoyances included: no tv remote, it didn’t work and it took over a day for them to find a compatible one! Also, no hairdryer, no robe or slippers, no laundry bag,no coat hangers in closet, no in room coffee maker. - On the bright side, The maid service was good and the room was clean. - Barring a change in ownership/management, I would not choose this hotel again.

The sheets were not long enough to tuck in. The heat/air was difficult to understand and use. Our key card did not work, we discovered why after 2 replacement cards which didn't work due to a dead battery.Is your maintenance policy to change the batteries only when dead? The public womens' rest room had a dirty stall and the sink area was beyond distresses, grungy.

Great locations and extras, mediocre rooms

The hotel stay was fine- bed was firm but comfortable, room was clean, and they handed out unlimited bottles of water. The lobby was lovely and the rooftop bar was amazing. The rooms, though, left something to be desired. They just need to be updated and refreshed- some peeling paint in the bathroom and cracks etc. Heat/ac was quite loud (like a sound machine!) The wifi was kind of difficult to use. I also would have appreciated access to a microwave. Valet was available but pricey. Location was excellent.
