The hotel is old, but it is something that could be fixed with maintenance and painting here and there. Just one elevator that also the cleaning crew uses, so the waiting time could be a lot if it everyone is leaving or coming. Someone had an accident in the elevator and the floor was sticky for 2 days. Worse experience ever. Picture is so deceiving.

disappointing

Check in did not seem to care about us one way or another. Not happy to see us, apparently. Housekeeping annoyed when we asked for more towels and even acted like it was an unreasonable request. Your people here don't seem to know anything about the hospitality business. Sunday breakfast was sitting around before it opened and no one seemed to be around to clean or refresh the food. I avoided any that was perishable and my companion did not and felt sick all day. You better give this place a look-see
