• Would you recommend it? No
• Positive: nothing
• Negative: It is CLOSED! The web site was still taking reservations as of May 18, 2012 despite the fact that the hotel has been closed for months. They may still be taking reservations. It was the worst traveling experience I have ever had. The hotel gave NO notice that it was closed or in danger of closing. I arrived with a worthless reservation for a boarded up hotel.
