I have stayed here several times. Now that Covid is over they have more amenities like coffee and tea in the lobby and newer keurig in the room…no refrigerator in the one I had. The furniture is elegant but a bit worn…otherwise I would give 5 stars. Great walkable location for dining.

Dated and cramped

Old hotel. A bit cramped and you have to request a fridge and microwave which are brought on a cart and cramp the room even more. Shared terrace (w/3 other rooms) which I thought would be private. Mushy bed. Neighborhood is not good for parking or staying busy. Business district. Not optimal.

Decent.

Fantastic smiles at every interaction. The beds were completely worn out. Room 206. Pillows great. Water in shower hot, but no flow/pressure. Hairdryer weak, and super loud. Room clean but coffee cups were covered in dust. Restaurant wasn't open as advertised. Valet, wonderful!

Won’t be staying here again

My husband and I stayed one night for an appointment we needed to go to. I won’t stay there again. The light was so dim in the bathroom, I could hardly see. The room and hotel definitely needs an update. The bathtub drain was broken, the bathroom sink was clogged, the makeup mirror light didn’t work and the room was dusty. The only good thing was it was quiet and there is a really good restaurant directly across the street where we could walk to. ( The Tobacco Co) I don’t see how housekeeping can clean these room on a daily basis and not report these problems. I paid good money. The mattress was halfway comfortable and at least the pillows were soft. I’ll stay somewhere else next time I visit. I did report all these problems to the front desk guy and he didn’t even offer any compensation. One more thing.. there was an ice machine room in our floor , but it wasn’t available. We had to go to another floor for ice..
