Room wasn't ready for 4pm checkin, as someone else was in it; front desk said they'd be gone by 5pm, then would clean room and it would be ready by 5:30. They did tell us we can check out at 12:30pm instead of 11am. Ice machine not working. Water in shower either too hot or too cold (mixing valve on faucet not working?)

Great, historic property. Very clean and welcoming and the room was nice. I would give it a 5 but the bed was very hard and we didn’t sleep well - and that’s why we were there - so overall great experience but wow, the bed not so much .

The location of the hotel is very convenient in downtown, the staff was very helpful, although management seems disorganized. The building is historic yet recently updated and comfortable. Our stay was very nice and i would stay there again.

The creaks on the upper floor makes it impossible to sleep. The historic section is noisy, terribly noisy.
