The beds are so bad. They feel like they are as old as the building. You can literally feel each spring poking out. Worst mattress I have ever tried to sleep on. There was no hot water in the shower even let it run hot only for 30 minutes then decided not to waste any more water and had an ice cold shower at 11 pm.

Not the right one

No AC and one window had no glass. You could hear the bug sounds all night long. If you sound sensitive you will not be able to sleep. Shower takes about 1/2 hr hot water and yes all that water wasting for 1/2 hr. Pay a little more and stay somewhere else.

Website photos misleading

As stated, historical, 100 yrs old. In need of many updates, floor slants so drawers won’t shut on cabinets. Shower to room would not even get luke warm after the 20 minutes of running it. I feel like the website pictures are very misleading. When we arrived, it was not at all what I had expected and when I went to check in-I had asked the lady if I could please look at room and was told yes, after I gave her my iD and credit card for payment. I was confirmed that I was paying regardless . Breakfast was good.
