1. There was a section of wallpaper that was starting to come loose, the inside of the entry door was scuffed, the trim on the door to the toilet/bathtub room needed patching and painting and then there was the bed.

"Great Location, Great Staff, Needs some 'touching up' " Read full review on TripAdvisor 4/6/2011 Vote

2. The rooms were dated, the pillows were uncomfortable, and the bathtub would not drain sufficiently during a shower.

"Hotel is OK, location is great " Read full review on Expedia 9/30/2010 Vote

3. The sink, bathtub and toilet were in a long, extremely narrow area near the door to the room.

"Friendly staff, worn and noisy rooms " Read full review on TripAdvisor 4/20/2010 Vote

4. The air conditioning system continually made noise through the night and driping water was heard both from the A/C and from the bathtub faucet.

5. Only one caveat: I like to take baths, and the bathtub was really pretty and inviting, but it didn`t hold water (I guess the stopper was broken).

"Perfect hotel " Read full review on TripAdvisor 3/9/2008 Vote

6. The bathroom was moldy with several chips in the bathtub.

"Outstanding service at a run down hotel " Read full review on TripAdvisor 3/30/2012 Vote

7. It's an old building and some of the details are a bit worn (eg, tired enamel in the bathtub, wallpaper peeling at the edges in some spots, uneven floor), but nothing major and certainly in line with what you'd expect in a building this old that is anything less than super-premium.

"Not new, not fancy, but very pleasant stay " Read full review on TripAdvisor 1/10/2012 Vote

8. However, I found the room to be a bit worn down - the surface of the bathtub was peeling, the drains were slow, the carpet had several stains on it, and there were some other little issues around the room.

"Very good, but.. " Read full review on TripAdvisor 11/16/2011 Vote

9. The bathroom was not cleaned properly and showed signs of aging (stained bathtub, cracked and peeling door frame).

"Gone downhill over time - no response to complaints " Read full review on TripAdvisor 3/12/2011 Vote

10. Got a room with very noisy air-conditioning, broken bathtub on the 7th floor.
