We loved the location and the unique style of this hotel. It was like a step back in time. The furnishings were in great condition, but antique. The bed was comfortable. The rooms were clean, but the bathroom needed some maintenance. There was mold in the caulking around the tub that needed to be replaced. The check-in staff and the bartender were very nice. Overall, a great stay.

An old hotel, but in a cool way. Bars and restaurants nearby but was quiet at night. Very friendly staff and good coffee. Contactless check-in was easy to understand but it was a little creepy being alone in the lobby when I got there at about 9 pm. Probably haunted. :)

Nice building and furnishings. My room was a little dog-eared for the high price tag. The lack of any staff or hospitality whatsoever was downright creepy. The pandemic is over, bring back a desk clerk at least.
