(1,001 reviews) Lets be clear, you stay here for the location and the art deco building. Amenities are just OK. Staff is friendly but rooms are dated. Sofa bed for my 2 daughters was broken (room 301). No common area (lounge to seat down and relax), it is all restaurant. So this is one of those “been there donde that” kind of places. Next time either a B&B or a large chain hotel.
