Generally ok. But room is a bit dated and could have been kept a bit cleaner.

The Stanley
The room was clean and nice. The rooftop view from the 9th floor was awesome. The staff were friendly, and the breakfast was wonderful. However, the hotel’s location/area didn’t feel safe after 7 p.m. The view from the room was of the city, which I didn’t like.
