When booking a hotel on orbitz, I expect a normal check in experience, not one that is contactless, with multiple text messages from an unknown number and keys left in lock boxes. The building itself was unique and older, and fine for the price point. Tub and sink were cracked, and showing their age. But overall was about what I expected, and convenient location.

We got one of the suites and the bathroom made the stay so worth it! The bath was amazing and clean. The room itself is really spacious and in a clean condition. Some of the stuff is out dated (tv, lighting, plumbing) but the aesthetics made up for it. We parked in a lot nearby for $16 the whole day. Overall we enjoyed our stay!

Great value in historic building

Short overnight for business trip. Once you download the app, communication and lockbox for key access was great. Never met any staff, but was not an issue. Historic building, generous and nicely appointed room. Bathtub has seen better days, but no complaints.

room 102

I had trouble checking in as I arrived after 4:30. I called help number listed and they could not find anyone after they gave me the wrong code to get the key. I was late for my dinner. Also, The bathroom was not clean it looked like someone had used it and they did not clean it. Finally, the bed needs a new mattress it is worn out on one side and lumpy. One more thing I just remembered no water. The water dispenser was empty when I got back from dinner. They Neighborhood is loud at night you should also work on the windows. I know expensive but you asked.

Staff was not very responsive. Never responded to text messages and that was the only way to get ahold of anybody during the week. The weekend staff (Saturday) person was helpful but she was the only person that was. Wedding planning personal was unhelpful as well.

the hotel does not have hotel staff after 4:30, during my stay I arrived after 5 and before 8 and never saw an employee or someone to deal with the issues (TV didn't work). virtual support is one thing but ability to call a physical front desk human would be welcomed and appreciated.
