9/10 Wonderful! (1,008 reviews)
The hotel is located at a prefect area and is close to all the landmarks. However the property is old and the room is dusty and both the telephones are not working and full of dust. Gym is small and the facility is old. Coffee machine is not working. Though there is complimentary coffee and tea in lobby it seems the staff does not really check whether it’s finished or not. No late check out available. Highly recommend elsewhere that is cost effective.

Aug 22, 2019A terrific, sobering history lesson and amazing to see this restored as it was when we lost our greatest president. Items in historical exhibit are stunning, especially the tiny pistol that changed the world.
