Staff was phenomenal. Beds were soft and very comfortable. Heater worked well. Room was clean. Only downside because it is an older building the walls are fairly thin and you can hear louder cars and people out on the street.

The bed only had one thin blanket and no comforter. The window AC/heat was marginal at best for the night. The floors are noticeably tilting as you walk through the hall and the room. What can I say, You get what you pay for.

This was an ok hotel. I was looking forward to a stay at a historic hotel but it really was like 1880s and not in a good way. The bed felt it was made of cardboard and we couldn’t find the thermostat until the morning so the room was freezing all night. Also, too small. The hall ways, the way into the room, space around the beds. All of it you could call “cozy” but I call it small

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Not rustic charm, truth is maintenance just not performed. Windows broken (won't start open and won't completely shut). Bathroom sink water faucet and shower run (won't shut off) and diversion valve for shower broken so more water flows to tub than shower head. Tub and sink old and stained, carpet worn, towels and sheets are well beyond their service life. "Upgraded City View" room is on the street with windows that don't seal making the noise defining - and there's no "view" because the windows are so dirty you don't need to use the drapes for privacy. Overall, a bargain $50 motel chain provides a similar experience. One positive point, staff very polite.

The room was small and cramped, difficult to set up pack n play and walk around it. Bathroom was very outdated and looked unclean. The shades are not black out and light pours in from the street all night, as well as sounds from cars and motorcycles. Walls are thin, we heard neighbors slamming drawers all night and children slamming doors/running down the hallways loudly while trying to sleep. The fridge in the room froze all our food, including baby’s milk. Overall just not a pleasant experience.
