Everything about the hotel was amazing! Aniyah one of the concierges, helped me set the tone for my mini surprise for my boyfriend. She was extremely sweet and very helpful. The hotel was beautiful and so well kept. Smelled great and was very comfortable. Will be going back again!

Great location in Old Town. Good looking from the outside. Good bed. Dog friendly. Downside - second building is not convenient. Wifi is wonky. But the one thing that stops me from giving them a better grade is they were almost overbooked and didn't tell me that I specifically had to request housekeeping for my second day. Since I left at 11:00 in the morning and came back at 3:00 I came back to a messy room. The communication for this was poor. I've never been in a place where I wasn't notified that there were extenuating circumstances or That I needed to tell them by the room light lighting up or something else Period That was just poor Period Plus even though there were two of us staying we only got two towels and had to request more Period

This was such a great, historical building. Beautiful! I never figured out how to get the room temp to our liking, so we slept warmer than our liking.
