8/10 Good
"This is authentic art deco and lobby is beautiful. Rooms were huge and very good. Bath needs grab bars and safer tubs - getting out is treacherous. At night the hotel public areas were full of college kids - some drunk even in the elevators. Parking is a bit sketchy with locked gates and wandering people. Guard at the hotel entry was watching TV."
