1. My only thought was some of the furnishings looked out of date or not what I'd expect to find in this hotel.

3. The rooms are dated and in need of refurbishment, incredibly noisy air-con which only seems to have one flow setting so you either freeze or turn it off.

5. I originally had gotten a bargain on another hotel via SniqueAway but the hotel would not honor it for our new travel dates, so I decided to use Hotwire to book a hotel.

7. We last stayed here a few years ago and just had a 2 nite revisit and the location is still great, the staff friendly and inviting BUT the facility remains a classic old building - with old, slow, noisy elevators which are usually filled (there are only 2 for a large building); small (probably average for the area) but clean and dated rooms, no real view out the window with a nice kitchenette but uncomfortable and cramped bathroom; and the lobby is small as well.
