The building is old and there are some cosmetic blemishes, yes. But our room is clean, tidy, linens are changed, beds are super comfy, TV and wifi work great, hot water works perfectly. The walls seem like they may be thin, but I haven’t heard noise from any neighbors. The front desk staff was very kind. Street parking was easy to find.
