Lost in the 60's
My husband and I arrived at this hotel on a Saturday evening. Entering the hotel we thought it was a real find because it was really stunning, very nicely decorated, helpful staff. It wasn't until we rode up to the 8th floor and entered our room that we were so disappointed. The room was small, the decor dated, and the beds ... OMG! I think the mattress had to be at least 40 years old and the bedsheets were yellowed with age and had a musty smell to them. The bathroom was so small you could barely turn around in it and looked as though it hadn't been updated in decades. I have to say the room was clean but I can't say anything more positive than that. The hotel is definitely a great location for sightseeing and the price was very good. Don't eat at the little cafe inside though because the prices are ridiculous for what you get ... $17.00 for breakfast for 2 and we hardly had anything. The cashier and waitress were not very friendly either! Plus factors were the staff in the lobby. The concierge was magnificent; the security staff very kind and dedicated. You have to show your room key to be able to get on one of the 6 elevators. The doorman was the best ... he was helpful, kind and solicitous. Stay here if what you want is to do the sightseeing but don't expect to rest well in the beds after a long day of walking around the city. By the way, they charged us $60 to park our car, when a much lower price was advertised on their internet site.
