Es war gut für eine Nacht.
Pros:

Es ist eine praktische Suite mit einer kleinen Kochecke. Es hat genug Platz für das Gepäck und gute Ablageflächen.

Cons:

Das Frühstück war okay. Es hat nur Plastikbesteck und Becher vor Ort. Das ist nicht sehr toll und mühsam zum essen.

Ok. Old hotel in need of TLC. Staff not especially warm.
Pros:

Good location.

Cons:

I called to be sure my adult daughter could check in when she arrived. I was assured a note was added to my reservation. When she got there, the clerk saw no note. I had to call again. Then when we got there, I informed to clerk what had happened. No apology.

Furniture was very worn. Drapes were torn. I never found a kitchen trash can.
