Great downtown location with interesting history and layout. A little bit run down in some areas, e.g., elevator, and some exits/entrances are not useable anymore, which makes getting in and out a bit tedious sometimes. Room was clean and promptly serviced. Staff were fantastic. Breakfast is continental style but minimal.
