It was a pleasant stay. We had to be moved to a different room because of a plumbing issue in the room above us, but they took care of it efficiently. The new room was a tad larger and they didn't charge for that. The Anthracite Hotel is our go-to place when we visit family in the area.

Shower drain did not work properly. Lost power overnight and room became very hot. We were told hotel bar was open until midnight and when we went down on Sunday night at 10pm it was closed. Other than that very great place, would stay again.
