Overall very fun
Very quaint hotel loved the historical significance. Elevator was out of service so it was a bit of a pain. Also, room would not cool below 79 degrees so we had to open the windows on a 23 degree night to make it bearable. But hey it’s an old hotel so things happen. Bar certainly had character and characters. Lots of folks yelling at each other in bar. One employee scolded by another for knocking our wine over. Patrons hollering at each other. Nice lobby fireplace on a cold December night.

The Hotel is very unique. A different experience. Cool decor. The room we were in was clean looking but definitely smelled like mildew. We only stayed one night so we let it go. The bathroom was so tiny! It reminded me of a bathroom you might see in an RV. The beds were very firm but ok for the night. My husband said the trains kept waking him up, but I never heard them. The elevator was broken so using the steep stairs was unexpected. Overall we would probably stay again on the our way through. The outside of building could really use some updating. Would help alot with appeal!

Cute stop, but won’t stay again.
Check in was easy however we were told upon arrival the elevator isn’t working. My mother is handicapped and our room was on floor 2. Got to the room and even though my confirmation shows I reserved a room with two queens was given a room with one king bed. I went down and let them know, they switched rooms for us to a room with one bed and one pull out couch. That’s fine. The room smelled of sewage the entire time. There is no AC in the hotel anywhere, luckily we didn’t need that. We ate at the restaurant. The services was terrible but the food was great. A little pricey. Great historical place to see, but not the best to stay overnight.

The hotel is absolutely amazingly beautiful and has an incredible amount of history, this hotel is not for everyone because it is not constructed with the newest adminities you have to appreciate the older style and the style form later years , this place was absolutely incredible in every aspect and the service is second to none.
