Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Came for the history and uniqueness. Staff was friendly. Room was cute and comfortable. Only complaints were the ac is turned off in the winter but being on the 3rd floor it was 80 degrees in the room with the heater turned off. Fan on and windows being opened did not bring the temp down at all. It was a long, long, hot, sleepless night. The other was the toilet being so close to the wall you pretty much had to sit sideways but the bathroom being small it couldn’t go anywhere else so not much to fix there.
