Stay there for a girls trip and it was just perfect. The building itself is so gorgeous in historic next to a beautiful park with a lot of open grass area where locals spend some time and sun bathe. The hotel offers one breakfast daily snack, snacks, and happy hour which is amazing. The staff were always friendly and attentive. Had a wonderful experience.

You have to be kidding we stayed at the original Citadel. That being said the place really needs sprucing up. Peeling paint and stained carpets everywhere. Awesome location. Central to everything. Bed was one of the better ones we've slept on.

Overall, people were friendly and professional. Location is a great plus. However, the room, especially the restroom and furniture needs to be upgraded. this would have a higher rating if the restroom was in better condition. Everything was fairly clean just very outdated.
Grout needs to be cleaned. A lot of areas need painting.
Rudy grab bar and tile grout conditions.
Multiple pieces in furniture were flaked off.

Furniture in our room seemed to be from the 60’s. The A/C was ancient and we couldn’t dial in a comfortable temperature. The evening reception snacks were not quite as good as what I could get on an airplane. On the good side, the staff was very helpful and friendly and the breakfast was very good.
