Dated, needs new lobby furniture

I was supposed to stay here on Monday 4-13-25, but it was so chaotic. Also very dated and dirty furniture in lobby, I really didn't want to go and see the room. Seemed dangerous with so many people coming and going with no visible security

Property is very old but that’s part of its charm. Not sure I liked the fact that we didn’t have a window in our room. A window could be needed for emergencies and to let in fresh air. Room was stuffy

Great location

We stay here because of the Great location, but the room is outdated, very small room and the bathroom was extremely tight. If you’re tall your knees would most likely touch the sink, we had to squeeze to shower. Shower needed a good scrub and very low pressure with the hot water. The hot water was actually warm. Since we like the location we most likely be back but will stay in a bigger room
