8/10 Very Good! (829 reviews)
The room was clean & staff friendly. The room and inside of the property is very outdated. The room we (husband & I) were in had weird red/brown spots on the ceiling, the door to our room had gouges in it. There was a vertical rectangle in a part of a wall in our room that looked like a hole was covered. The AC unit is VERY old!

9.4/10 Exceptional! (551 reviews)
This is a beautiful old hotel and we liked it a lot, aside for two things: a recent renovation meant off-gassing fumes which were a lot for the first few days. The rooms are not well sound proofed so you could hear ppl in the hallway and in other rooms.
Aside from that it was perfect.
