Extremely dated and janky, with horrible lighting and parking situation. Customers have no control over the heating or cooling and take what you get. The most uncomfortable bed with pillows that are thin and beat down complimented by comforters from the 80's. Many other hotels downtown provide validation for parking within a much closer distance. We will not stay here again there are many other options.

Loved the atmosphere, the proximity to our event, the staff was courteous, friendly and helpful. Made us feel welcome without fussing over us. The room was clean and comfortable. Delicious food at Centrico, and we were quickly attended to and served when we shared that we had a pending event with limited window of time. The shrimp tacos were delicious. Later, after the event we had a delicious night nosh at Seamus McCaffrey's Irish Pub one door down—vegetarian Boxty in a cream wine sauce. Fabulous. Only issue was metered parking. We navigated through that—and we will be back again!

Location is great! An older place with lots of ambience. Could do with upgrading but… I suppose that the okey worldly feel is part of the appeal
