Disappointing.
Booked 6 rooms. None were ready when we showed up at 4:30pm. Some waited over an hour and were just to sit down and wait when any inquiries were made. Then given a room overlooking trash dumpsters. AC did not work in a couple of rooms. Expected better and won't be staying again.

Nice staff. Friendly and competent. The location is very good if you want to be near the walk streets, big hotels and offices. The property could use some updating but is in good condition. The outdoor bar area l is very nice. The fitness center is substandard and needs an overhaul.

It was a real pleasure to stay here. Agnes and Dahlia at the spa are lovely and the services were excellent. However, the rooms could use freshening up (but they were very clean), and the water pressure in the shower could have been better. Breakfast was good and overall, the staff were wonderful!

Equivalent to a Motel 6, Skip and Stay at Marriott
I wanted to like this property due to its historical significance but the reality is that this is a run down hotel in need of desperate repair. By US standards, it is NOT a 4 star hotel, it’s more like a Motel 6 with a restaurant. Everything from the rooms to bathrooms, hallways and building exterior are run down. My bathroom had so little water pressure that I was unable to shower. My stay was so terrible that I ended up leaving and staying at the nearby Marriott instead, which is a nice and clean 5 star that was only $20 more per night than here.
