Old hotel, smells weird, not much of a view.

Pros: The location was good. Right in the heart of downtown. Valet parking service was very prompt and well done. Great variety for breakfast.
Cons: More attention to detail--such as improving the smell of the elevators, getting rid of the annoying accent of the elevator voice, cleaning staircase.
Location: Don't expect anything to be open on Sunday. Not many restaurants around at all. Several Parks nearby. Theaters right accross the street.
Stayed here for two nights. Their breakfast was really nice. They don't really have a dining room, so you just sit wherever you can find a spot. Room was clean, but the hotel overall smelled a little bit old. They only have one ice machine for the hotel. Staircases were not very well cared for.
