Shoutout to Jose the bellhop. Helped save us from a godawful room. If you book the 2 double bed room, DO NOT accept the dingy room with a bathroom that has the sink in the bedroom! That isn’t what is advertised to you and is frankly unacceptable even for a historic hotel. Update those rooms!!!!

This is my second time here and it’s been great both times. The property is well kept and safe. All the staff in the hallways and on property greet you. The location is hard to beat and the parking is easy with in and out privileges. It has a nice historic charm without being dingy and gross. I highly recommend!

The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The property itself was dingy and dated. The room had a musty smell. Going in and out of the hotel required us to walk up two flights of stairs or take this very scary “lift”. Would not stay there again.

Family stay

Room was lovely And the room service was very good, they couldn't do enough for you. We were upgraded free of charge, was surprised given that we were an hour early. Our room wasn't ready for us, hence the upgrade.

Great, peaceful stay at this hotel!

Very well-maintained building, considering its age. Great blend of the "new" with the "old". Only issue is the pillows and mattresses could have been a bit thicker, but that is it!
