You couldn't pay me to stay at this hotel again. The staff in reception is fine. The location is too close to a bar or party area where people were partying until 2am each of the nights we were there, so we couldn't get a good night sleep either Friday or Saturday night. It's a 4 story hotel with no elevator. The Marilyn Monroe suite where we stayed had a ridiculous shower/bathtub that was difficult to get in and out of and had a terribly installed shower curtain. There was a print of Marilyn Monroe in the bedroom and a trash can that had a print of Marilyn Monroe in the bathroom. I also fixed the toilet myself because someone installed the inner workings of it incorrectly so that it didn't flush properly. The first day we arrived, there were a bunch of linens in the hallway just outside our room. The next afternoon, the linens were still there. The staff clearly doesn't like walking up 4 flights of stairs either.
