mixed feelings About this hotel
slow elevator outdated machines
the elevator was INCREDIBLY slow I often waited several minutes for it to arrive. the breakfast was lackluster the selection felt limited and uninspired. the room itself had some minor wear and tear like chipped paint and loose fixtures. the noise from the street was pretty LOUD even with the windows closed so i had trouble sleeping a couple of nights. the promised gym turned out to be just a small room with a few outdated machines.
