Smoking by construction workers, dust from construction as we have COPD and post lung removal surgery. noise by other customers (smoking pot outside our window at 2AM.) and construction and street workers. extremely overpriced for parking at hotel and in the city. Broken safety bar in bath. Food was ok. Homeless and beggars everywhere. Trash on streets and around sidewalks. Didn't feel safe walking.

Overall, this was a great hotel for us. We wanted walkable, easy access to the tourist things and this location was perfect. The staff was a 10/10. They were so kind and helpful. They remembered us and we talked like friends. I appreciated the warm southern hospitality they showed to me!

The hotel charges $39/night for parking in the hotel parking lot (a hidden charge that is not in the listing price). We stayed for two nights, the second night we had difficulty parking because the hotel was not enforcing the parking policy (checking for parking tags) and people at an adjacent property were using the hotel parking lot. Three parking spaces were closed for construction work being done on the hotel. We circled the hotel to find a parking place - lucky on our second pass we were able to grab a space as another car left. The hotel is conveniently located in the historic district and within a block of the riverfront. The complementary breakfast was great - although the yogurt machine was out of commission on both mornings. Construction work was being done in the first floor maintenance corridor that runs the length of the hotel, so it was noisy during the day with saw and drilling sounds for most of the day.
