A "Historic" Joke of a Hotel

This "historic" hotel is a joke. The suite rooms have a portable AC unit, the room smelled like my grandma's house (which makes sense since this was a retirement home before it was a hotel), the bathroom was insanely tiny for a 600sqft room and extremely uncomfortable. Besides the convenience to downtown, this hotel is not worth the rate. They took a historic retirement home building and turned it into a hotel with as little effort as possible.

Old world charm with modern convenience

Delightful hotel. Our room was actually a double connected to a single with not one but TWO bathrooms. Granted that the 2 small bathrooms together would make one regular size bath. It was very clean, quiet, with comfortable bed. Local coffee provided. It has old world charm with modern convenience and a great downtown location.
