Stayed here for conference date of May 16-20th. It appears to be a pleasant older hotel with nice conference facilities on 2nd and 9th floor. However the elevators were extremely slow for a hotel this size. There were only two elevator for 7 floors of rooms!and seemed we were waiting all the time! We had requested a king and got... More
