The hotel is super, we stayed in the Marilyn Monroe room. She lived in it, the room is unique and the only one in this hotel. Clean, staff polite, helpful, breakfast very tasty. We'll be back 100 percent.

ADA elevator is next to the smoking section outside, not too good, because I have allergies and asthma. I must hold my breath while I wait for the elevator. Other doors by the smoking area are propped open and the smoke fills the hotel hallways.
