The hotel is Ok but I was surprised it has such good ratings from the community here. It's kind of old-style European, fairly spartan, fairly worn, and not all that clean. It is pretty compact which brings all of the not-quite-newness of the place into focus. I'm not a whiner but I've stayed in a bazillion hotels and know a good one from one where I wouldn't voluntarily stay there again, and this one is the latter category. The staff is kind, but as one example of the classic experience: a previous guest had obviously been smoking in my non-smoking room. After putting up with it the first night and feeling like I'd been used to clean an ashtray, I asked the front desk for a new room. They said, in their very polite way, that they couldn't move me but would have the housekeeper clean the room and remove the smoke smell. Well, you can guess how that worked out. I moved out after my second night instead of staying the full 3 I'd booked.
