The property could use a major investment. Location is great. However the shower was in a bathtub which was a challenge to get in and out of. Maybe it's different in other rooms.

The room was dated. dust on lampshades and around the perimeter of the room dust on the toilet paper holder there was beer left in the fridge and food under the dresser. The carpet was well worn and had tears in it and the chairs were also well worn and had tears. The picture on line looked so much nicer than the actual room. If we had not booked through Expedia we would have left after the first night.

Great location, friendly staff, comfortable overnight stay in the heart of downtown. Continental breakfast had a good selection of snack items (granola bars, fruit, muffins, croissants, etc) and beverages. It’s unique with the history of the building, which I appreciated and enjoyed looking at the archival photos, but not for guests who want a modern room.
