Very old, friendly staff, good location.
Staff were all welcoming, easy to park & gentleman at front desk was helpful. Room was very old. Heating unit was turned off, so walked into a cold room! Opened flap to put heat on & flap just flew off, was not attached. No view. Popcorn ceiling. Very old worn carpet. TV station menu was completely wrong. Walls were paper think so heard entire conversations or listened to TV shows. Bed was one comfortable & good thing. Very clean, comfortable mattress & pillows. Breakfast was good. Chef was very friendly & food was good. Decor in the room was extremely dated though! Reminded me of the dining room of the titanic! lol Great location & close to everything. Despite the old decor I may consider coming again.
Funny artistic piece on the ceiling in the breakfast area!

Great location and staff but a few things….
Perfect location if you are visiting downtown or attending events at the Kirby Center. Check-in was fast, easy, and professional, and we felt safe at all times. It is an older hotel, however, and we had trouble with the tv, the room heater was extremely noisy, and there were some broken things: tp dispenser in bathroom, bathroom overhead heat lamp, some of the gym equipment, one of the elevators, push bar on hotel side exit door, etc. Breakfast had many options but quality was lacking. In spite of this we would stay there again because the location and staff were great.
