Great location I'm really good considering it's a super old property. That's to be expected when you're staying in the Heritage District in the Heritage Square. Awesome location! Unfortunately progress happens and a lot was under construction that the time because I believe they are installing a new Metro in the area. That's progress

The hotel is very clean, the staff very attentive, and the breakfast is standard. My only observation is that you have to climb one floor of stairs to reach reception, and then there's an elevator to get to the rooms.
