It would have been nice to have more sit down restaurants in the area, but we used the Metro often or Lift. We did eat in the restaurant a few times and it was very good. All the staff was friendly and accommodating.

Rooms don’t look like the pictures that’s advertised. Lobby was nice, however the rooms are extremely outdated, bathroom extremely small. Not happy at all with the stay. Very old hotel. Will not be staying there again.

The rooms themselves were very nice. Good beds and newer furniture. The only negative comment I could make about this property is that the elevators are limited in number and very VERY slow. Long wait times for elevators.
