Legacy Ottoman Hotel

Legacy Ottoman Hotel

6/10 Okay
"This is an old hotel, with a need for refreshing. The bathroom was actually quite updated, with a great shower, but the room was tired. The room (suite) was stuffy and had a vague smoke smell. The lobby and public spaces were nice and the breakfast was plentiful."
