We had a great overnight here. The property has an EXCELLENT location. The hotel is from the 1920’s and they have done an ok job with the upkeep. The pool was heated and clean and the hot tub was wonderful. The beds were big and comfortable. Only issue was that it was a bit noisy in the early AM as you could hear street noise and trash trucks dumping in the alley next to the hotel. But perhaps it was just the location of that room. All of the staff were genuinely nice, knowledgeable and super helpful! The bar attached - Lion’s Mane was a highlight- amazing ambience, cocktails, and food. For an older hotel the gym has everything you need - even a Peloton! A great find!
