I had a friend staying here recently so i went, all excited about the famous glass ceiling dining room only to discover the vast space was filled cheek to jowl with rather chain-hotel type banquet tables and goodness knows what-all. The room was quite nice. High ceilings, nice bathroom. Very thin walls...

Yes, the hotel is pretty -- the lobby and furniture. But that's pretty much all there is to the beauty. It's just "old." Rooms and the bathrooms are incredibly tiny. The view is terrible. Unless you get one of the few rooms looking out onto Market Street, there really isn't very much to see except brick wall and windows. The first room we stayed at reeked of cigarette smoke and had FLEAS. I literally saw a flea jumping on the bed. I ended up with 4 bites that night. Needless to say, we changed rooms. I'll give the staff credit for being nice and professional. New room still reeked of cigarette smoke, so much so that all my luggage smells. Oh, by the way, parking costs $48 a night! Thankfully we didn't pay the running rate for this hotel. This hotel just wasn't all that great.

Pros: Professional staff, nice valet

Cons: $48/ night parking! Tiny rooms, tiny restrooms, all reeks of cigarette smoke
