I have stayed here multiple times over the years and have to admit this property has gone downhill. The rooms are outdated, dusty, and not well cared for. We chose not to use the pullout couch due to the multiple stains on the mattress. Gross! The air system is so loud in the rooms, we had to turn the TV all the way up just to hear it. The breakfast area was so dirty, and many items were out of stock when we arrived, with over an hour left of breakfast. The garbage was overflowing, all the empty tables were dirty, there was a hair in the jelly bowl, and the plates were gone. There was not a worker in sight. We all lost our appetites and chose to eat elsewhere for breakfast. The parking can be a nightmare, and the spots in the back lot are not marked. You could easily park in the wrong area and be towed. The front desk staff were pleasant, that was the only plus, other than the location. It's so sad because this used to be such an iconic hotel. For the price, it's not worth it. We will not stay here again.

Parking was across thw street, which was not very convenient. Room was not ready at check in time and it looked like it wasn't cleaned well, if at all. Room was not restocked with toilet paper, garbage bags or paper towels i had to go get them.

Everything was fine except the gal at the counter said we only had one room when we actually had reserved two rooms. So the other couple with us scrambled to find another room. She really screwed up as we contacted hotels .com later and yes we actually had two rooms. Not good!

Don't stay when they are busy!

Room was late getting ready and never called to tell me when it was ready. I went to the room 4 hours after check in and the bed was unmade, bathroom had hair all over, food left in fridge. Front desk gave good service and made the bed at least. Said they were busy and short staffed and because I booked through hotel.com they couldn't offer me anything to make up for the countless issues I encountered.

We were not able to check in until 2 hours after check in because our room was not ready. I stunk so bad. One elevator had dog pee on the carpet. Room service for more towels and toilet paper took forever.

I’ve been staying at the suites for years, and while the convenience and wonderful staff have remained the same, the recent renovations have really stripped a lot of the charm and character out of the hotel. It is a unique space and the rooms used to celebrate that with art highlighting the history of the area. Now the rooms have been given a generic coat of paint and the history has been swapped out for uninspired wall art that looks like it was found at a home goods store.
