"Good bank for the book. There was a steel smell in the hallway in the bedroom when we walked in. The building is old but for the price, it was reasonable. Breakfast was very poor. Selection could improve. I probably wouldn’t stay there again, but if you’re staying in the downtown area, not such a bad selection."
