Mr Gregory checked us in. The best guy i have met. He knew the city and the best spots to eat at a great price. This gentleman knows his city and is proud off it. No other ataff evwn bothered to speak to us during the day. He works the evening shift. It was an honor staying here and having the opportunity to get to know this man.

Spacious rooms, nice staff, and good location, a short walk into downtown. But it’s a little pricey for the overall quality, in my opinion. know some people like the old, classic feel. It’s personal preference, but I would rather stay in a newer property. Three things bothered me: first, the toilet wasn’t cleaned properly (if you know what I mean) before I checked in… so I was greeted by a dirty toilet. It was cleaned well, though, thereafter. Second, I found a small gecko/lizard on my floor. I don’t think he got into my room, but he could have easily because there is a huge space between the bottom of the door and the floor. Third, on my last day, there were window cleaners making crazy noise at 8am. Listen, you could do much worse than this hotel. In many ways, it’s nice, and the things I’m describing are relatively minor. It’s just that I stay in a lot of hotels and I expected more for the price.

The property is beautiful; i love the museum on the 1st floor and I loved the location and it felt safe the entire time. The staff was friendly and gave me great recommendations to places to eat. My only complaint was that my room A.C. was broken. The staff was notified and wasn't able to make it to room at 11pm at night.

Mr Gregory at the front desk was exceptional! He was very friendly and helpful with local places to eat and visit! Our shower wasnt working and he promptly gave us access to another shower and then the hotel fixed it first thing the next morning! The only down side we noticed was they emptied the dumpster at 2am and it was right outside one of our windows.
