Pros:

Updated room was OK, pretty good view for location.

Cons:

Front desk staff not engaging at all.
Old hotel with common areas and restaurant worn and not kept tidy.
We were charged for beers purchased 2 days after we checked out, still no credit after calling 2 days ago, not happy with security or service.
