"Hotel was one of the nicer ones in the city. Convenient for tour pick ups and such. Metal detectors to enter this and other hotels make it a little uncomfortable as a tourist. There is smoking allowed in the main areas of the hotel as well as designated smoking floors. The hotel as a whole had a feel of lingering smoke smell. "
