Great value in historic building

Short overnight for business trip. Once you download the app, communication and lockbox for key access was great. Never met any staff, but was not an issue. Historic building, generous and nicely appointed room. Bathtub has seen better days, but no complaints.

room 102

I had trouble checking in as I arrived after 4:30. I called help number listed and they could not find anyone after they gave me the wrong code to get the key. I was late for my dinner. Also, The bathroom was not clean it looked like someone had used it and they did not clean it. Finally, the bed needs a new mattress it is worn out on one side and lumpy. One more thing I just remembered no water. The water dispenser was empty when I got back from dinner. They Neighborhood is loud at night you should also work on the windows. I know expensive but you asked.

Staff was not very responsive. Never responded to text messages and that was the only way to get ahold of anybody during the week. The weekend staff (Saturday) person was helpful but she was the only person that was. Wedding planning personal was unhelpful as well.

the hotel does not have hotel staff after 4:30, during my stay I arrived after 5 and before 8 and never saw an employee or someone to deal with the issues (TV didn't work). virtual support is one thing but ability to call a physical front desk human would be welcomed and appreciated.

The room was very large with newer carpeting. Room was very bright in the morning. I wish they had a way to block out the bright morning sun. Maybe darkening blinds. Otherwise, I was happy with the stay.

Comfortable and Cozy

My stay there was very comfortable and cozy. Check-in was easy. I had a broken air conditioner and they changed me to a different room with ease. On Check-out day my key was demagnified. I downloaded the keyless app but it would not open my door. I called the emergency number and left a message, but no response. The front desk note reads that someone would be there by 8:30am. Being locked out of my room i could not checkout. I left for breakfast at 10am and the front desk was still unoccupied. I was very disappointed. I had to return at noon to checkout. I really recommend that you have a 24 hour phone number in case of emergencies.
