"the hotel is as tho stepping back into time-- retro looks and smell of the past, and was okay with that! it was clean and very nice staff! the place was so busy and active. the only downfall was that there were 3 elevators but only one was working. for that large of a place-6 floors and many rooms and people, it would've been better had all three been working. we would stay again."
