Anonymous, Oct 2020
Pros (+) I like the older original look of the building and rooms. The steak house was amazing
Cons (-) Extremely hot due to the very old steam heaters, smelled very musty, bathrooms need updating- toilet very close to wall and shower was cold the hot then cold no medium. It’s nice they are trying to keep room original and unique but they reallly need to update some parts. Very loud in the room
