GREAT HOTEL GREATER CREW FRONT AND BACK OF THE HOU
Great classic hotel with an spectacular asset : The Personal. Carolina did take excellent care of my room as well as Eneida . The maintenance crew leaded by a Cuban gentleman and the air conditioning guy did make the difference solving problems. After many years working in the hospitality business with WESTIN and DAVIDSON is nice to see the effort of people to keep service standards. Better maintenance budget will be strongly suggested due to the age of the building.

Check in took 25 min as there was one person working at the desk. There was no hot water in the bathroom.

8/10 Very good

The staff was the best value of this hotel. The hotel has potential to be what it was years ago, is in a super location with easy access to transportation, restaurants, casinos, bars, shopping. Hopefully the Radisson Group see it and work on remodeling especially the rooms and some common areas.
