I enjoyed my stay here! Read mixed reviews about the rooms. Personally, i didnt have a problem with them. They are definitely original and outdated, but not in a bad way. Reminded me of a an old studio apartment. Spacious room, walk in closet and very high ceilings. The hotel itself has a lot to see! From their lounge area to the courtyard outside. I was their during holiday season. Lots of beautiful decorations! Its definitely a must see.

Everything was clean. Everything was nice. The only thing is maybe ahead of time they had. Clark. Should tell guest when checking in to be careful with room card. We could not open our door and we had shopping bags, and it was such a pain to walk back to the front desk to let them know that it was not opening. She was quick to say you can’t have it around your phone because it will dis Activate??? never heard of such a thing, but when you have ankle issues, it was really hard for us to walk back and let them know about this.

Great Hotel, would be nice if the dinning in the hotel served breakfast. Junior suite was perfect and beds were comfy. However I think it would not take much of housekeeping would shampoo the stains in the carpet. Yes I know the hotel is old but it would not take long to spot clean the carpet stains. Other than that it was a great experience.
