I have family that stays in this area. I appreciate that they restored this downtown hotel and highly modernized it. I only rated staff a three because there wasn’t really any. My check in consisted of entering a code to get in to the hotel and my room

The retro vibe from the turn-of-the-century building makes one feel like one is in Europe. The large tub is rather nice. The simple, minimalist style is nice. The general neat appearance is inviting. To the not so good, the dusty ceiling fan blades were rather noticeable given the white, off-white, and dove gray paint shades. And the cracking paint on the window trim from paint with latex over oil is also rather noticeable. The El Paso Mexican Restaurant around the corner served tasty food; the birria tacos, an off-menu request, were excellent. We will stay here again. If vintage is your thing, then the McKey is for you. If you are looking for the Ritz, then this is a hard pass.

Good but could be better with improvements

It was a very enjoyable stay; however, there are minor improvements needed. For instance, better and more frequent cleaning is necessary, and curtains should be installed. The window in my room had a draft, so I feel they should be sealed better to ensure guests stay warm. Additionally, the door doesn’t fully feel closed, and the code to enter the building doesn’t always work. Offering a badge alternative and improving the door would enhance safety. Providing essentials like a phone charger would also be a nice touch for guests. I believe listing the room names on the website would be helpful, as I had no idea which room I was assigned. Lastly, all my outlets were upside down for some reason, which seemed odd. The good this is it generally was comfortable and the cafe downstairs helped alot
