This is a great hotel. It is a little dated, but it is spotless—so clean! I am a stickler for clean hotels, and I have been often disappointed by high cleanliness ratings, but I love that even though this hotel is somewhat dated, it is super clean. Additionally, there is a lovely area at the back of the hotel to enjoy food or just take a break. The only reason it was not 5 stars is because of the food. I had breakfast and dinner. Breakfast was not worth the price of the buffet. And, I wound up vomiting up my dinner a few hours after eating it. I would not recommend eating on site. There are plenty of options within walking distance. The staff are very friendly!!

Nice enough

It’s an aging nice hotel. There are robes and room service but everything feels a bit dated. Not by a lot but just enough to take it from a great hotel to a fine one. Also, the AC isn’t that great so if you run on the warm side bring a fan.

Keep Enrico and hire new staff! There were 3 people at the counter when I checked in and all of them passed me me on to someone else until the last guy sighed and was like I guess I’ll help u. Nothing but lazy lazy people! I heard the entire hotel complaining at one point! Not worth the frustration, stay elsewhere!

Going downhill.

This hotel's infrastructure was nice a decade or so ago. There are small things today that rub the wrong way. Though there are acres of outdoor parking in a neighborhood with lots of street parking, they charge you $20 for the privilege to park on the premises. If we had known in advance, we might have stayed somewhere else simply because we thought the price was competitive. The in-room coffee machine didn't work. The thermostate wouldn't change from a really cold setting so we had to turn it off. The dining room is open to the main hallway and there was a crowd of kids in line to take the PSAT test passing next to the tables so it felt like we were dining in a bus terminal. Definitely a decline since my first stay here.
