Hôtel Ruby Foo's
"The distance to the rooms and the aging infrastructure were issues. I am 73 and it was a very long walk to the elevator. The lack of a restaurant for dinner on site was unexpected. The cover fell off the heater/air conditioner mid way through the night which was startling. And the toilet was running. ..."
