Property was unique with history and charm, really enjoyed the fireplace in lobby. Only negatives were the room and bathroom were very small and the shower didn’t have great pressure, other than that, great place. I believe they have bigger rooms, if stayed again would book larger room and bathroom.

Unique hotel but skip the bar/restaurant
The pictures on the website make this hotel look way better than it is. Cute place and atmosphere but the ac was blowing hot air. Do not go to the bar/restaurant as we faced discrimination and were barely served. That is why my review is worse.

Unsafe and Unprofessional
Hotel completed a mandatory evacuation for a carbon monoxide leak during the night and DID NOT EVACUATE US. Went down to check out to find security guards staring at us whose response was “we thought the hotel was empty and had no record of you” After we checked out I received a text from hotel asking us to come to front desk as there was an evacuation, so clearly trying to cover themselves once they realized what they did. We had two young children in our group. I would recommend nobody ever stay here.
