No soap in the shower, did not receive rewards points even after the Receptionist said it had been fixed.

Stephen R. Business - 3/27/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Seemed overpriced for such an aged hotel. Was close to my office, hence the choice but the cost was not worth it and would not stay there again considering the cheaper alternatives that are only a few extra minutes walk. Parking was crazy expensive considering I was a guest at the hotel.
