Regretably Ignored Bad Reviews.
Not much good to say about this hotel except a little cheaper than those close-by. Wanted this area, next time will stay farther away and take a taxi and/or train to meetings. Should make up cost by lower room rate. In any event, thought I would give it a try even though there were some bad reviews. Staff not that friendly just for starters. No hot water in the morning in the shower, but there was plenty in the sink. Seedy eating places. Layout very awkward. If you decide to stay there anyway, test the hot water, and request lower floor, I was on the top floor, that is still quiet. I left a day early partially due to my dislike of the hotel.

VERY HISTORIC - OLD
Very overpriced for the quality. Very small room but did have a king size bed. Could use some updating. Seem to be very understaffed for the size. Bathroom sink leaking from the undersink plumbing.
