Negative Reviews
negative:
Breakfast Disappoints
Guests say breakfast is a little disappointing for this style of lodging. It is continental offerings only and nothing is available as a hot item. The choices are limited and don't live up to the rest of the hotel.
negative:
Old Building Quirks
As this is an older building, there are no elevators. It is three stories, so if you have heavy luggage, be sure to ask the front desk person to assist you. They can also assist upon departure but need to know you need help.
negative:
Water Issues
Keeping in line with the age of the building, the water in the shower takes a long time to warm up. It's better to turn the water on and let it run before you prepare to hop in. If you wait a few minutes, it will eventually heat up.
