Old and tired but great location
Just back from 5 nights at the Pennsylvania, I went expecting it to be horrific but it wasn't bad at all. The first room they gave us was horrendous, damp, smelly and a bathroom that was unfit for human habitation. We had no problem moving to another room which was fine. It was a huge room which was clean and comfortable, OK, the hotel is seriously in need of a refurb, the corridors and carpets are drab and well past their 'best before' date but the Pennsylvania has charm, friendly staff and is in a great location. I would stay there again but just don't expect 5 star accommodation.
