This unique property is perfectly located. Within walking distance to bars, restaurants, and shops. Check in was flawless. We stayed one night but, This property has everything needed for long term stays.
It was a difficult time getting in to park - there were no clear instructions, and their main portico was blocked off for a wedding the next day. We were let in by Valet, who wasn't supposed to let us get in until we had a code, but we couldn't park anywhere to get in to get said code.
Once inside, the onsite person was friendly, but clueless. We actually had to help him check us in. A little embarrassing, but we got in. The unit was very clean! The space was perfect for our stay.

Terrible!
To begin just trying to find the hotel is very time consuming since they have no signs that show where the hotel is. Our GPS kept on stating we have arrived when we did not know where the hotel is due to lack of signage. We went to the garage to access the valet parking and they told us we had to check in first. I asked the person to call the front desk and let them know we are here....she stated "we don't do that". So we checked in and now had "permission" to use the valet parking. After entering the room we noticed our WIFI did not work and neither did the TV. Also, there were no sheets, pillows or blanket for the pull out sofa. Since there was no phone we had to go to the front desk to bring attention to this lack of services. A maintenance man was suppose to come to our room for the TV and in 2 days he never showed up. We were told by the front desk person on Sunday at 6pm he was no longer in the building and would be back tomorrow.....we were leaving the next day. There is lack of communication and customer service. They need to get their collective act together and provide better for the hotel guests. Needless to say I will not be coming back to Placemakr and Hotels should reconsider using this hotel on it's webiste.
The building is beautiful but unfortunately not well maintained. Hallways were hot and dirty and staff always eating at that the check in or watching YouTube. Building needs to be better cleaned and maintained. Parking is 25.00 a day!!! They should key guests know beforehand.
Everything about the property was great except the check in procedure. This was a little complicated for us being from Canada. Thank goodness there was a person in the lobby that was able to assist us. Room was great.

Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort
Good, but not without issues
Staff was very kind, although seemed a bit overwhelmed. Room was clean, good location, but….toilet didn’t work properly, and maintenance was not on site and basically useless, thankfully I was able to remedy the situation myself, but it required use to manually open the tank and fiddle with the float/water filling component every time we needed to flush. There was a not so great odor in general throughout the unit, but it is an old building, no TV in the bedroom was a slight bummer, and there was construction going on the the room next door for about the first 2 hours after arrival…
I loved this hotel. I would stay here again. Super clean, soft towels, comfortable bed and pillows, etc. The only negative is the parking. I got a ticket because my parking was only till 2:00 am. I’m sure it was user error on the parking app.
Me encantó porque conserva la arquitectura original por fuera y por dentro el departamento que ocupe está en muy buenas condiciones, salvo algunos detalles funcionales que tendrían que corregir
