A Disappointing Stay in a Severely Outdated Hotel
I typically try to find the positives in any place I stay, but unfortunately, my experience at this hotel was overwhelmingly negative. From the moment I walked in, it was clear that this building—while historic at 108 years old—has not been maintained properly or updated in what feels like decades.
The room had a strong, musty odor that never went away. The carpet was stained and reeked of mildew, and there was visible mold growing on the ceiling—a serious health concern. The air conditioning didn’t work, and with no proper ventilation, the room felt stuffy and uncomfortable at all times.
Basic amenities were either broken or missing: the hairdryer was non-functional, the door lock was damaged, making it hard to feel safe, and the elevator was out of order, which meant lugging bags up several flights of stairs. The bathroom was rusty, outdated, and honestly felt unhygienic.
The pool was dirty and uninviting, and clearly not maintained. Common areas felt neglected, and the entire building shows its age—badly. Old can be charming, but this place is simply falling apart. It needs a major, major renovation from top to bottom.
Sadly, the photos online were misleading, and this was not the relaxing or comfortable stay I had hoped for. I would not recommend this hotel until significant improvements are made.
