Great property with quaint rooms, plenty of space and great staff. Breakfast was continental but super satisfying. Parking onsite was limited but we found a space and it was easy to get our bags to our room.

No windows in the room and there was a skylight that let in really bright light early in the morning which made it hard to sleep. Also kind of a grimmy, dingy feeling to the room. The staff was not the kindest either.

The room was very clean and comfortable. The stairs were steep but manageable. Appreciated the robes! Parking is limited. The room has everything you need except a coffee maker but that’s available in the lobby 24/7. Really enjoyed our stay.

Location wasn't ideal. The staff was really helpful. Parking was ok. Beds were comfortable and shower was fine. A bit dated. Lots of TV channels. Quiet after 11pm. Good coffee.

The breakfast is very nice and the staff is very friendly. We (including our 9yo dog) enjoyed our stay here. The only thing to note is that there are quite some stairs so if you’re mobility constraint, it might not be a good choice.

No lift, and our room was up 3 flights of steep stairs. The whole hotel has a strong smell of old building+cleaning products+musty. Breakfast was good though.

This property is threadbare, the mattress seemingly old, creaky and lacking firmness. No room for three peope tp have breakfast together. Very overpriced accomodations. Should have stayed at the Westin.

The hotel has ample on street parking but very few spots in the lot behind the hotel. The room is a throw back to another time but I was very comfortable. One of the few hotels to still provide a robe.
