"Super friendly and helpful staff! Room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was nothing special, but they could have used a little more help as there seemed to be one overworked staff member in charge of breakfast. This is a unique and historic building, which adds to the charm of this hotel. All-in-all, a nice place to stay."

"Beautiful hotel. Staff was amazing and super friendly! Loved that it was pet friendly and had wood floors! Dog park across the street was very convenient. The breakfast spread was great! Only complaint was I wish parking was included. $55 for valet garage parking otherwise parking is on the street and very limited. Not the hotels fault at all but the nightly activity outside of the hotel makes you lwary to leave your car parked on the street. They do have an armed security guard on site 24 hours that periodically does patrol outside the hotel. Luckily we were able to park pretty close"
