Incredible place. Beautiful lobby area. It was like staying in a home, and enjoying not only your room, but expanding time in the leaving room or in the very large balcony. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The hotel is beautiful. It’s updated but still holds the history and age of the building. I love that it’s an access code hotel. Check in was effortless. The room was perfect for a solo traveler. LOVED the extra amenities; especially the towels. It was decently clean besides the heavily dusted fan and vents (I’ve informed someone so it can be cleaned). I was a little turned off by the comforter and the shams on 2/4 pillows I would not sleep on the shams so those pillows weren’t usable. Location is excellent and the rooms have a great views the area seems really safe

Sleepless night

Beautiful property... terribly upkept rooms. The bed was advertised as a king bed, it was a full size bed at best and was so sunken in it was practically touching the floor. I had to sleep on the couch. The room had an odor, it was poorly laid out, the blinds had a gaping hole in them exposing a fire escape that anyone could've climbed up on to peer in on us, the bathroom had no floor mat, tiny towels, refillable shampoo and conditioner bottles that seemed to be just water, there were hair and stains on the bedding, and a lot of other little things that just made the stay more and more awful. I have stayed here once prior and I thought it was so nice I wanted to come back. This experience was nothing like the first time.
This is the "king size" bed
