Bed was comfy, room was nice and cold for a muggy day. Roof top bar is a nice treat for a cocktail and view. Sheets were very cheap and not soft. Lobby looks grest, for price of hotel but hotel itself needs some TLC. Doors are all scratched, toilet short, old and ran if we didn't make sure to put handle up all way. The details, room smelled like someone partied there the night before.
