The room was lacking because the sink had ants coming out of it. Which got on my brothers clothes and bit up his back. We didn’t notice until the next day which was too Late….
Ants coming from the sink so just watch out incase you see this. We had the 7th floor room too.

When we checked in, there was only one employee at the front desk and a line of us to check in. She was efficient and polite. She upgraded us to a king room with a sofa bed which was nice to have the extra space. However, the wallpaper was poorly repaired, the bed was not very comfortable, and the pillows were not comfortable at all. We couldn't find a good combination of pillows to get a restful sleep. We went to bar after seeing a show and ordered some dessert. Went the piece of cheesecake arrived we immediately noticed that it had mold on it! The bartender immediately took it away and did not charge us for it. We sat and talked while watching a game on TV and the bartender delivered some cheese sticks as an apology for the dessert mishap. They were good. He was extremely apologetic for everything and did not charge us for anything. The hotel's location was perfect for our visit, close to ACL, which was our primary reason for choosing to stay there. Overall, our experience was good.

The AC thermostat didn’t actually control the temperature. The system worked, but it was stuck at 75 degrees no matter how low we set it — which made the room uncomfortably warm. We also barely got any sleep because we could hear a baby crying all night. Of course, this isn’t the parents’ fault, but it felt like the baby was right in our room — the sound insulation was that poor. Lastly, the room door had a noticeable gap that let in light from the hallway, which also made it easy to hear every footstep and conversation outside.

Clean. Pretty simple restaurant, but all you need for a few days. No room service, but they make it up for you downstairs very nicely and you just have to take it up the elevator yourself--no problem. Good parking set up in a very very hard to park area of town. Yes, it's a very old building, but it met our needs, clean and functional in all ways we needed. Only negative was one of the elevators was out, but we never had delays getting up and down to 7th floor.
