My room was in a section of the hotel that was neat, filled with cool prints of old Columbus photos. Staff was nice, really just a solid hotel stay. There was a window that you could see from the toilet that needs to be cleaned but its in an internal courtyard that may not be accessible. The empty bar on the first floor needs to be reopened as a nice sorta old man bar apart from the "modern chique" one in the lobby which is fine but also has the same cold sterility of the looming check out time of any hotel, some how to early and to late. Its a nice place.

We checked into the property. Our rooms bath tub was covered in hair. The only resolution was to down grade our room. The second room they put us in had electrical issues. We went back to the first room and I cleaned out the tub by myself. Said I would be refunded but still havent been.
