The room was small but pretty. They’ve done a lovely job restoring this hotel. On the down side, our first night there, there were some inebriated guests making noise in the upstairs common room until almost 1 a.m. There’s no management on the property at that point so no one was handling the situation. The doors, which are gorgeous, don’t seal the door, they’ve been cut down at some point, so noise is loud and makes it seem like everything is right outside your door. It also lets the light in the hallway bleed into your room, making it feel like there’s a nightlight on. Bring a sleep mask if that’s an issue for you. My other complaint is coffee in the morning. You have to go to the lobby for it but it’s not brewed until after 8 or so and there were no pods for the single cup coffee maker.
