Pros: Cute hotel right near the Historical and Old City districts. 5-10 minute walk to most museums and major historical sites. Restaurants and night activities on the same block, Market Street.

Cons: Next to I-95, so it was a little loud at night.

Pros: Beautiful room, well appointed, comfortable.

Cons: This is not the hotel for getting rest or peace and quiet. Hotel is located directly in front of freeway. Staff and guests very loud especially if your room is by elevator as mine was. Missed wake up call, restaurant closed without notice so no service

Pros: Room was very clean and had a lot of old building character, (both good and not so good). Beds were comfortable. Location was great, close to nightlife. Staff interaction was minimal but pleasant. Parking not as expensive as other area hotels.

Cons: Definitely has old building quirks - very small hallways and stairways, slow elevator. The walls are thin, so you can hear your neighbor come & go as well as get in the shower (or anything else more than moderately loud.) Nothing terrible though.

Pros: The only good things were that the bed was good, the spa tub worked and the staff was courteous.

Cons: No microwave, no coffee pot, the mini fridge wasn't plugged in then gurgled all night, every time another door on the level opened our door jostled, the toilet seat was peeling,there was no menu in the book like it says it should be rough sheets and robes
