Not again
Parking was listed and yet on arrival parking and check-in were a complete frustration. Only one elevator working for numerous floors made in/out again frustrating. Room was clean but odd and feeling old. Bring slippers for sure.

8/10 Very good

The one of the elevators to our floor was out of service. Long waits to go up or down. Very inconvenient.

4/10 Fair

Wouldn’t recommend
I’ll first start off with the positive saying the front desk employees were super friendly. However, I would not recommend staying here.. the room is super tiny for two people and it’s a bit dated. We couldn’t each open our luggage and be comfortable. If you’re into European hotels then this would be for you. The room with a view is a very small window, hardly a view. Bathroom very tiny and outdated , small shower, dirty baseboards, needed a little TLC. Elevator didn’t work for part of the day. If you wanted to go past floor 10, you had to walk up a flight of stairs. You can hear everything people are doing the rooms are so close together, we even were waiting by the elevator and someone was very loudly having “private time” literally right next to the elevators. It definitely isn’t a place for families. I’m sorry to say this was definitely not worth the price point… you’re better off staying next door for a little more money.

Great hotel and service. Would stay again.
Great hotel and location. The only thing is their elevator went out for two days. With only one elevator- it took a very long time to get up and out of the hotel.
