The hotel was wonderful about accommodating our early check-in, which we really appreciated! The staff was incredibly nice and always ready to help. The vintage elevator has lots of character—just takes a moment to get the hang of it. The rooms are on the smaller side but were spotless and beautifully decorated, making them feel very cozy. The location couldn’t be better; it felt like everything we wanted to see was just a short walk away. While the area around the hotel can feel a little sketchy at times, that’s pretty typical for a downtown setting. Overall, we had a great stay and would definitely come back!

I loved the historic aspect of this hotel, but the area is very sketchy at night. The elevators are original to the 1913 building, but they are scary and hard maneuver.

Great room and location, bad service.

The room is super nice, and comfortable and very well appointed and decorated. The service leaves something to be desired. I had to keep hounding them for a toilet bowl plunger for hours. There was no trash can anywhere in the room or in the hallways. Parking is very expensive, and there is literally no other choices in the neighborhood. Was also very loud on St. Patricks Day, but calmed down the next night. Check in isn't where it needs to be service wise either.

The hotel had a nice appeal and was decorated nicely. The 200 year old elevator was a nice touch but wait times for it can be long. Parking around the hotel is terrible and better off using a parking garage and walking to the hotel, there is valet parking but is $65 a night. The hotel is located on 6th street which is a party street with a bar called the Double Duce being located on the same block as the hotel and the line to get in the bar takes up the whole sidewalk leading up to the front doors of the hotel. Night time hotel has nice views, but the screaming, laughing, and yelling of the bar’s patrons are sure to annoy you during your sleep. Also using Expedia grants you no VIP rewards or benefits at the hotel so don’t bother laughing or the receptionist will little laugh in your face. I don’t recommend staying in the hotel unless you enjoy spending money for a mediocre experience…

Get a better router

The rooms weren’t really clean and the hotel was more like a motel. No one cleaned our rooms during our stay and also everything was extra money (even the bottle of water). However, the location was very convenient.

We spent only one night here and enjoyed. Our room was comfortable but sort of dark since there were no view windows. Super friendly woman named Darryl helped us when we checked out. She gave great recommendations and was helpful with us departing.
