Stepping into this hotel was a bit like stepping back in time but with all of the modern trappings and a very cute bar. Friendly staff were very welcoming. Room was well-appointed and had everything I needed. Extremely convenient if you need to catch a train from Central - I stayed here to go to a concert at Olympic Park and it was super quick to get back to the hotel afterwards. I also caught the airport line to and from Central and it was so easy to walk with my suitcase from the hotel. The hotel is also really close to lots of great eateries in Chinatown and just a stone’s throw away from the Capitol Theatre.

Staff were super friendly and helpful. Charming hotel with character. We chose to upgrade to a suite as some rooms are very small. Upgrade was inexpensive, so well worth it. Sole downside was poor sound insulation between our room and the next, but overall great.
