The hotel is exceptionally charming - small and old but very clean with lots of great benefits. Small bar in lobby with an AMAZING bartender. She was very personable with everyone in there and gave us great advice and recommendations on where to eat and what to see. Very comfortable stay and felt completely safe.

I feel like this is what are the real hotel service. Old building, looks outdated style but it has everything I needed. I have stayed at 5different hotels for this trips including Marriott and Venetian resort and so on. But regarding the price, I think Chancellor is one of the best hotel experiences.

It would’ve been better if I’d have my own coffee machine and there was a lot of noise coming from the room next-door on three nights. But other than that, it was a nice place.

The hotel is clean, the rooms are cozy, and the hotel staff is very friendly. They have coffee all day, and water and cookies in the evening. They have a bar where the bartender makes some really good margaritas. Honestly, it was a lovely stay, and I hope to return. Thank you!
