This is a very old hotel and it seems not s whole lot has been done in many years to improve it. We only had housekeeping on one of 3 days; beds were uncomfortable and there was no comforter. We had to turn the heat up to be somewhat warm which made the air in the room dry. This hotel is in dire need of renovation
