The rooms were clean, even if very old fashioned. The staff very helpful. A lot of restaurants/bars within super easy walking distance. Excellent location. The only downside was the wi-fi connectivity was very poor.

The staff was extremely kind. If you're looking for something fancy, this isn't the place. But, I LOVED it here. I love the history, I love the celebrity stories and the ghost stories. Walking into my room made me feel like I was transported straight back to my grandma's house when I was a kid (very old home, very old furniture, super cozy).

Was a quick night stay. Came in late on a Friday and took a minute to find parking. That said, parking was inexpensive for the night. Old style hotel. Only issue was our room was near the ice machine which was a little loud. Staff was great and affordable place for a night.

Cute place to stay if you like that old style feel of a hotel. Lots of places to eat or get drinks near by. Only bad thing was the water in the shower, it was either super cold or scorching hot, could not get it at a normal temperature to shower.

The location was great, we were able to walk to everything we wanted during our stay. But it is an older hotel and the rooms are not very large.
