Hotel is old and well-used, but tolerably clean.
Small rooms, large closets, absolutely no amenities.
SLEPT ON FLOOR!!
Staff = rude, irritable, anti-helpful, misleading...
Three-night trip was for business, as such my colleagues and I knew we would be spending almost zero time in the hotel room. Our goal was to find an affordable hotel, just comfortable enough for sleeping and storing our clothes. Even with such minimalist expectations, we were horribly disappointed with the Astoria.
With 3 of us travelling together, we asked repeatedly when booking and when the first person checked-in if the room would suffice for three people (booking was for two beds + rollaway). As the last to arrive, I sadly discovered that the hotel does not even own a rollaway and the room wound up being too small for a rollaway to even fit.
The desk manager was excessively rude. He insisted that one of his staff had "lied" to us (his words), wanted us to figure out which of his staff that was, and said he couldn't/wouldn't do anything to fix the problem beyond giving us a spare blanket so one of us could SLEEP ON THE CLOSET FLOOR. Our subsequent requests for a solution (any solution) degraded into the manager becoming insulting. At one point, my colleague phoned downstairs to ask the manager again for help. Manager called her "boring" and hung up on her.
Regardless of how many pennies you save, this hotel just ain't worth it. There are other "conveniently located" hotels for a similar price and better courtesy.
