I've stayed here many times and have enjoyed the hotel's vibe, location, and value. However, my room was subpar during my most recent stsy -- there was a musty aroma, a constant noise that couldn't be identified, and a view of trash receptacles. I asked someone at the desk if they put customers who booked lower rates through third parties in rooms that have not been updated and was told no and that room selections are based on availability. Not sure what that means, but all rioms should be updated.

Well appointed and clean room. Great bed with excellent linens. Checked in late evening, but desk clerk was warm and welcoming. Hotel was near full capacity and only available rooms were first floor, but offered to move me on 2nd day if desired… very thoughtful. Guests nearby were allowing their door to slam with every use - ergggh. Hotel room doors have auto lock feature that requires one to turn the interior door handle to close it quietly. Hotel has beautiful lobby with multiple comfortable seating areas throughout, some tucked away from main passage. Never had an issue finding street parking but you have to read the parking signs carefully and use the pay app.

The room was filthy and cold. There was a full set of someone's toenails on the carpet. It clearly hasn't been vacuumed. The AC wasn't working. After half dozen calls to reception, I was brought a tiny space heater. An hour later the room was still freezing so I had to move all my stuff to a smaller and noisier room. Staff were unhelpful and had to be repeatedly asked to do what they just said they would do. Horrible experience

I can confidently say that I will not be making a reservation here ever again. Was given prices & information that was very misleading. During my stay I paid for valet, which to my knowledge is separate from the hotel, which I was told by the guy it would be cheaper flat fee which I paid for immediately through the link he sent. Upon checking out the next morning, I call my car from valet & start getting notifs of an attempt to charge my card of a WAY larger amount. This was extremely misleading & I brought it up to a man at the front desk where there was also a woman I didnt meet prior who was now running valet, who was EXTREMELY rude to my friend and I when I mentioned the price the guy told me. She kept making snarky comments about how we could've used street parking & rolling her eyes. She was going to make the front desk employee charge me the "correct" amount upon check out for the valet until she opened whatever app she uses & it showed I had paid for it already... Not only did we have that horrible interaction upon check out, we also had another rude interaction with a lady regarding check out time. We confirmed over the phone days prior to our stay that we got a 12pm check out w 1hr complimentary, she said no & we'd be charged, which we weren't. Hotel is clean, but very outdated. Bathroom fixtures were loose & kept falling. Left the hotel & they are still trying to charge me the ambiguous valet price & additional for who knows what. Shame on them!

It is an historic property so the rooms tend to be bigger and wall thicker so it’s a quieter experience for sure than the more modern hotels. They just don’t have any ice machines on each floor. And the bartender was not really there when they were supposed to be to take advantage of the $30 credit we had. And The halls are not really vacuumed as much as they should be. The coffee was good. But not available for long. The property itself is starting to get a little beat up terms of the fixtures and painting. Good location for walking to Georgetown major issues parking. There is no parking available. We have to find a garage is open 24 seven or street parking and keep feeding a meter.
