Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This place was ok, at best. Its a historical building with cold drafts, barely cleaned bathtubs, dirty stained carpet, gray-brown blankets that felt akin to sleepibg under a area rug and nicotine stained wallpaper that has been there for many years. Reminds you of a run down 1980s business class hotel. The breakfast was cold on yhe potatoes and undercooked on sausage, eggs were typical fake egg, dehydrated ones that were spongy. Bagels and bread were left out in the open to all to cough all over and finger it. Everyone in ky family either ouked or had stomach issues all day after eating very little of this breakfast. Absolutely would not stay here again. Its fine for eldery dementia patient, as there were plenty of those wondering around the halls all night, but the average person, this was a depressing stay all around.
