6/10
The property is conveniently located and well priced. But there are limitations.
The WiFi would only work if you cracked the room door open. Though the front desk said it was a courtesy upgrade to give me a tub, there wasn’t adequate hot water to fill it. My dream of a hot bath in Alaska never happened.
The staff was responsive, but often wasn’t able to resolve the above issues. Part of the charm of an historic property.
The restaurant downstairs pops their back door open obviously to vent deep far fryer fumes into the lobby. The carpet on the stairs shows a bit of tackiness due to that. The maid apologized she wasn’t able to clean my room one day. She was short handed.
The television in the room was small and needed to be programmed to fill the entire screen. No roller shades on the windows facing the street, so it was either blackout or give the street a show.
Would I stay here again? Probably not. But somehow I feel for the staff who seems to be struggling against an aging property and perhaps management limitations. I’m not angry, just disappointed that with a few changes to this old diamond in the rough could perhaps make it shine again.
