The property could use some updating. It’s a shame because it’s in one of the most prestigious neighborhoods in the city. Our room had an odor to it and the cleanliness was fair.

The hotel was very clean and the staff was all fantastic. In our room the beds were very hard and uncomfortably low to the ground. The toilet was crowded between the sink and wall with little room. I didn't ask for a room change so I don't know if all rooms are similar.

The room is tired and dated. Worn carpet, dirty tiles in bathroom. In great need of full renovation. Dark and sad hallways. What is great? Very nice lobby and great location. I’d spend the same $ and stay at the Sofitel.

The hotel is old and probably ready for another update. I would not recommend the restaurant though, especially for breakfast.

We arrived at 3pm to check in and were told room wasn’t ready, waited almost 45 minutes and room still wasn’t ready and had to check in to a lower grade room. For the price of the hotel room expected much better.
