Summary of reviews

Guests say
Overall, guests appreciated the hotel's excellent central location, friendly and helpful staff, and clean rooms. Many found the parking convenient, though the cost was a common complaint. While the historic atmosphere and amenities like the bar and restaurant were praised, several guests noted that the rooms, especially bathrooms, were small and some areas felt dated. There were occasional issues with noise, air conditioning, and WiFi, but the value for the price and accessibility to city attractions stood out as positives.

The bed was comfortable. Room was clean. The hotel is small and rooms in need of renovation. For example, grout in shower was missing in some spots. Staff was friendly and helpful. Smallest elevator that I've ever seen! I was hoping for a cool, old retro vibe...it was mostly just old.
