The front desk staff were exceptional- we missed our connecting flight so were a day late & they got us situated no issue. They also checked our bags on our last day so we could tour the city. The building is a bit older but in good condition & the room was comfortable (bed was great) & the air conditioning was excellent (nice & cold with some white noise). There are also a great restaurants in square right behind hotel. Would stay again on a future trip."
