The hotel is charming. The rooftop lounge area featured nice furniture and views. The bar and restaurant provided a nice area to sit and have a drink..
One of two elevators was broken. People had to wait a long time to use it. The hotel has approximately eleven floors. There are many homeless people in the surrounding area. I also noticed they sleep on the street.
