The National Hotel

8/10 Good
"Great location and staff. Owners could do better and put hot water out with the coffee. A sign says “ask front desk for hot water.” Really? Also put more towels in the rooms. And don’t charge for an aspirin at the front desk. Seems like guests are nickeled and dimed. Thanks for your help Cindy. You saved the ship."
