Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
We enjoyed our one night's stay at a reasonable price at this nostalgic hotel and with so many restaurants in walking distance downtown.

Great location and unique decor for an affordable stay
The last maintenance was in 1800... great location, friendly staff but we felt like in those Halloween movie buildings. And the information they provide about the Parking didn't mentioned that at 5am I'll be charged as a new day (arrived at 10pm and left at 11am, paid almost $40)
The ac is horrendously loud.it kept me up entire night. The sink wasxnot clean, there was hair ans soap imprints on it. The drain was missing cover. It was a nasty experience

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Wouldn't stay here again.
Room was pretty clean but the bathroom bordered on disgusting. There was no place to keep my toiletries in the bathroom.
A/C was a bit noisy but worked well. TV was very small...I had to sit right in front of it to read the guide.
Also no parking at the hotel so we had to use a parking garage 2 blocks away. A 2 night stay cost $60 to park.

No one answered the phone at the front desk when I was having an issue knowing where to park (the hotel has NO load-in area, FYI). The location is great, but that's the only thing good about this hotel. Our bathroom door wouldn't shut properly, there was no rack to hang your hand towel by the sink... It's really just a place to sleep, nothing more.
