Very annoying that the only parking available is like 2 blocks away and you have to pay for it. If you’re had a heads up it was like this I would not have been so annoyed. Also none of the outlets worked, there was extension cords everywhere so unsafe and not up to code

The room, while vintage, was well-cooled and very clean. Other aspects of the building are to be expected for such a historical building. The price was right for me and the location was excellent with regard to proximity to the Convention Center space and other downtown spaces. The history was very interesting, and seeing all the stars on the sidewalk and knowing of the hotel's story with regard to signature celebrities of the past was very cool.
