National Exchange Hotel

8/10 Good
"Room was very small and the only place to hang clothes was on a wall hook with three hangers. The bathroom was really large, so perhaps a real clothes rod could be put in there? Our view was a brick wall a few feet away, so that was disappointing. There was a nice lounge area with a ginormous couch where we spent evenings, but the bar there was closed. USB ports would be nice somewhere in the hotel."
