"Good hotel for our overnight trip."
Overall Score4.0/ 5
I was reluctant to reserve the hotel due to some bad reviews but we enjoyed our overnight stay. It was much better than some box hotels, it is an older hotel but is very nice and close to train transportation and nice restaurants.

Overall Score1.0/ 5
The hotel is scheduled for a facelift and certainly needs it Just came back from an overnight stay. The room was dark and depressing and the bathroom left much to be desired. The water pressure in the sink was sporadic and leaky Breakfast was a dismal affair. Food at the buffet was inedible I would not stay here again.

22-Jan-2019 Verified Review, stayed from Sat Jan 19 to Sun Jan 20 2019 at a $97.81 average nightly rate. "Hotel is a grand old facility that needs mechanical updating."
Overall Score4.0/ 5
We found the rooms on the small side, air conditioning system that hangs off the wall and is noisy, bathrooms without plumbiing for showering only bathing. Would never stay any longer than one day.
