4.5 Mediocre
Pros:Location
Cons:Very old,, 50's style motel rooms.
A
7.7 Good
Pros:Hotel is a wonderful old building. My room was cavernous with a small kitchenette and sitting room. Would have been wonderful if I were there for a longer time with work to do. The restaurant in the hotel is quite good, and there is also a very nice bar with fresh oysters and a good beer selection. Neighborhood is delightful with easy public transportation into the city (though it is a bit far to go).
Cons:Agree with previous post about heating and cooling. The window air conditioner worked fine on a very hot day, but was quite noisy. The remote for the TV needed new batteries, and they could not provide them at the desk; also, only a remote to control channels was provided, so it was annoying to use the TV's "sleep" function. Agree that most people would much prefer the main hotel where I was and not the newer motel portion, which seemed to have "tailgating" like activity in the parking lot. Was a little irritated that I could not receive a full itemized bill, and that people checking in while I was there were receiving rooms for a lower price.
A
6.0 Okay
Cons:It is not handicap accessible and they have no doormen or valets. You have to manage to drag your luggage up an/or down some stairs in the lobby to get to the check-in. And, when I got there, they said I was booked in the "motor lodge", a motel section. I would never have reserved a room in this section. I am familiar with this property. So, to move me they said I had to pay an extra $30.

10.0 Wonderful
Pros:Great location. Free parking. Rooms were we'll maintain and very comfortable.
