The place was beautiful. The antique furniture really made it look classy, not old. There was an issue with the plumbing in the shower, but the front desk manager was very friendly and took care of it promptly. This is a great spot to walk to many bars and clubs in the Gas Lamp District. There is no microwave or refrigerator in the room. Also, very minimal space in restroom for a girl to get ready, but very romantic structure.
