One can tell this hotel was top of the line back in the day. I felt as I thought a wealthy business-man, or even a prince might, as I walked into the lobby. Staff service was excellent and accommodating. Though the rooms are a little dated, they are very clean and nice. Bathrooms have been updated and are sparkling. Our first room smelled of cigarette smoke and staff was more than willing to help us switch. Advantageous location for walking to most anywhere.
