8/10 Very good
Room was clean and comfortable. Associate at desk was friendly and courteous. Only issue with check in, there was only one luggage cart and it was in TERRIBLE condition! Very difficult to use, loaded with luggage. Hard to push for a 73 yr old woman!

Very nice place to stay.
The hotel was clean throughout, from the sidewalk all the way to the room. The staff was courteous, and helpful. Although clean, the room was a bit cramped, but knowing the building’s age, that was understandable.
