The check-in person was not friendly at all. The place is really cool, the double beds room was small, bed was comfortable, the bathroom was clean. The building is old so there was a little odor. The morning staff made up for the evening! The breakfast was delicious!

We only stayed 1 night. Above us they had a dog that ran around the room starting at 2am. We could hear it going back and forth through the ceiling. Then around 4am it started to bark off-and-on. We had to check out a day early because we couldn't stay in that room another night. Since we didn't stay the second night, I would like a refund for that night.
