Pros (+) It was fine. Cool to see some of the history, but it’s like they forgot to evolve it to the 21st century. The shower only pumped hot water every 30 seconds, and even then it was scalding before it reverted to luke warm. It was mostly clean, but not spotless. The rooms were fine, but tiny and a weird layout. Was tough to maneuver luggage around. Nice pool. No hot tub. No bar or room service. People...

Pros (+) Have stayed there many times, will return.
Cons (-) Be careful: do not get an adjoining room.
Pros (+) Location & price.
Cons (-) I was given a room key for a room that was already occupied. Then, the guests on my floor (3) were loud all night, as if there was a party in the hallway outside my door.
Cons (-) The front desk lady was extremely rude to start. Absolutely zero parking although the add indicated parking is available. We had to PAY for parking and walk 5 blocks in the 110 heat. No breakfast. The bathroom door had no lock. And, the kicker is this morning I have little bites all over me!
Pros (+) Friendly staff, great pool, very well kept hotel.
Cons (-) Please fix the ice machines that were broken on each floor. And a second working elevator would be great, the past two years I have stayed there only one worked.
Cons (-) I don't expect much when it comes to amenities, but the bathroom didn't even have soap. Like, so I could wash my hands. Both elevators were broken the entire time too
Pros (+) Not a high end hotel but very quaint. Staff were very nice and the place was very clean. I will be returning!
Pros (+) great location, friendly staff
Cons (-) Bathroom
Pros (+) The pool deck was gorgeous and the staff was nice. The location was okay but still a little sketchy.
Cons (-) You can hear everything. Every sneeze or soft whisper from other rooms. The windows let every street noise in.
