The place is wonderful. Very historic, walking distance from a lot of fun stuff, the rooms are cute and the beds are comfortable. Bring some sandals or something, you share bathrooms with everyone on the floor. The soaking tub was lovely. The wines were fantastic. The cocktails in Al's were wonderful. Staff was so friendly and helpful. Probably the best experience I've had in a hotel.
