Centrally located . Eco friendly property. Clean room and bathroom. No balcony in a double queen room., but looks like other rooms had it. The new renovation or may be the cleaning supplies leave a real pungent smell in the room. Not a foul smell but really strong varnish kind. But you get habituated after a while. Could have smelled better.

This property is very old , the front desk and management is trying their best. Our experience was not great because of these reasons The room had an issue with AC , we had to open window for the air circulation. But in winter weather it was extremely hard. The parking is extremely difficult here( more rooms than the number of parking spots ) . They ask you to park in no parking area. The smoking alarm used to beep often .

The location is fine. The buildings need to be updated. There was snow on the stairs (long after it snowed) and generally the hotel is not in good condition. The heating system is terrible, antiquated, and dangerous.
