1. It's an old hotel: one should expect common 'shortcomings' of a very old big city mid-rise hotel building, which include slow elevators, a noisy window air-condition unit, rather shabby bathroom, etc. On the other hand, this hotel is reasonably-priced (especially with their summer discount), offers clean and well-kept rooms, equipped with complimentary Wi-Fi connection, served by friendly staff, and most of all, in a very safe and desirable area.
