It was very nice and pet friendly. Would stay there again but theyneed to get their act together when it comes to breakfast. On their contact info card it states Continental Breakfast while supply lasts. There was coffee and hot water. End of continental breakfast. Pet charges and parking fees very fair but note there are taxes added onto these charges. Still all in all, it was a very walkable site with Uber scooters all over the sidewalk. Note: the trains can be disruptive to sleep.

Best service!

Prices were comparable to a local very fancy hotel, I thought this location would be fun and artsy as it was named with the Steam Plant restaurant, which is where we were having dinner. The room was okay, but the people were fantastic! The manager walked me to dinner in the rain as I was hesitant in the location. Super friendly, and we had a great time!

*THIS REVIEW IS IN NO WAY DIRECTED AT THE FRONT DESK STAFF, WHO WERE FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL THROUGH OUR WHOLE STAY.* the room was dirty, like beds had been made, but not much else. Mirrors were filthy, toilet seat had gunk on it, makeup on the doorframe in the bathroom, sticky floors, doorknobs felt gritty, overall gross experience, aside from the front desk staff who checked us in, jade, who was very kind.

Here me out. This is not a hotel, this is a motel. Yes, this is a historical property, but the photos do not support the 'updated' decor I thought it had. I can speak to my room on the 3rd floor, facing the train tracks. The bad: the textured wall paper walls were painted over. The carpet was similar to indoor/outdoor carpet (I wore socks or shoes at all times, and my socks were quite dark after 5 days). There is a gap under the door (install a door sweep, and that should take care of it). Rooms are not sound proof; you can hear you neighbors, you can hear people in the parking lot. Trains run 24/7 beside the hotel (60ft away), but they give you earplugs to sleep with. The shower head sprayed everywhere but my face (clean the head, remove the calcium build up). I ended up using a bath towel to block the door gap - to reduce cool air coming in, the smell of the old train that sat running overnight, and blocking out light. You are at the end of the downtown area and beside the tracks, so there are homeless people around. But I never once felt unsafe. The good: the bed was comfy, smart tv, fridge, and microwave. The bathroom was tiled and updated. They play either the Flintstones or the Jetsons on a section of the wall in the parking lot each night. Would I stay again? No. Was the cost of the room worth the offset of the not good? No. Would I recommend this place to anyone? No. Was I hoping for more of an industrial feel given the history of the steam plants? Yes.
