Very disappointing.Rooms were only cleaned every 3rd day.Very few employees in evidence. Total bait and switch with drink and food coupons that we did not want or need. I would not recommend this hotel. Great location but several more options close by.

We stayed for 3 nights, and the cleaning staff never showed up once. The carpet conditions were terrible; if you have allergies, better to keep your distance.

The area the property is located in was very nice. The staff was friendly and courteous. I liked the meal credits we received during our stay. The restaurant was good as well. I especially loved the hotel's decor. The rooms are a bit dated and the walls are extremely thin. I could hear my neighbors the entire time I was there.

Shame. Was the most beautiful hotel in the day. $ was a steal. but sad it’s so neglected. Hallways needed a vacuum. Rooms are decent but carpet is old. First room smelled of mold/musty. Front desk changed immediately. Breakfast staff was very nice. For the price- a deal to accept the neglect of such an iconic hotel. Great location.

Check in

Beautiful lobby and restaurant. Rooms are fairly spacious. The check in/check out process was long and needs work. The line was out of the door for check in with only one person working the majority of the time. Breakfast included was a nice perk and parking wasn’t too high.
