Reminds me of the Shinning
If you want to compromise location for shabbiness, this is the place. One can't deny this location is perfect for myriad reasons. But the rooms are dingy, carpet dirty and does smell a little staled. In it's heyday this must've be magnificent. If you need a cheap sleep, this is a great place. 
I do want to commend some of the staff there. Kenneth at the front desk was a pleasure to deal with. Chris in the luggage room was a real charm and very helpful. I had an issue with the bathroom's cleanliness and the phone operator was right on top of the issue and had housekeeping there in minutes. (It did take two calls and a ton of rings to get the operator but she was awesome about the situation.)
