Lots of potential quaint location
Pros:

Friebdly staff and welcoming. The location was great and so many restaurants and shops within walking distance.

Cons:

Bed was hard, hair on shower wall, carpets have lots of stains, apples at reception were rotten and staff clearly didn't pay any attention. Like literally half the apple was super brown and very obvious. I pointed it out and nithibg was dine so I disposed it. "Balcony" room was a walk out without any furniture to sit.

Not worth the money
Pros:

Hotel location is great but hotel overall was not worth the money. Very drab and dated decor. Elevators were ancient! Hotel restaurant was closed the whole time. Very inconvenient. Coffee at reception area tasted bad/ stale. Staff were friendly. Overall I would not recommend at the price they charged.

Won’t be going back
Pros:

The property was just

Cons:

I asked for my room to be clean the floors to be mopped. They were filthy. I mopped the floor myself and sent it down to house cleaning, and they tried to give me a different story. I asked to speak with a manager who never contacted me. The first room they put me and had Cheerios on the floor glitter in the chair and the fan to the air conditioner would not shut off. The beds are hard as rocks.

We won’t stay here again. We’ve stayed here several times, but the smell ruined our stay.
Pros:

The location is nice

Cons:

Our room smelled terrible. There was some type of deodorant or air freshener that made the room uncomfortable. It was so strong and never went away.

Pros:

Very clean hotel. Great location.

Cons:

The hotel is beginning to show wear. This could be a red flag. A five star hotel that lets basic maintenance slip could be a sign of financial insolvency.

Location > expectation
Pros:

Over $700 for one night, for a room billed as an “executive king” which was smaller than a dorm room. Paint bubbling, discolored and eroded in bathroom, tiles not matching, shower head loose in poorly cut hole, screws hanging on by a thread, overall hasty work patching issues. Kick rocks if you think you can check in a hour early, want to go to the bar before 5p? Not an option. Do want a random guest leaning on your “balcony space” chilling directly outside your room window? They’ve got that. How about a packed house for weddings and guests screaming till 1am? They have that too.
Trust me, I’ve stayed at way worse, but for the price you would expect, among other things, your towels to not, overwhelmingly, smell of bleach. (I guess they’re clean though right.) This place deserves better. So do you. If you can get it for $200 a night; sure, that makes sense, the location is simply ideal. Anything more though in terms of price, enter with zero expectations and you won’t be disappointed.
