For some time, we've wanted to stay here and finally found an opportunity. We stayed in room 200 and the balcony was quite cool. A Ficus tree with its own squirrel were quickly our friends as they obviously just put up with us. Make sure you close the door to your room! :)The bed was comfortable, and service was excellent. It would be grand if some money were put into it to help it along. Of course it is an historical building, so perhaps that's something to consider, but I imagine some improvements could be made to the bathroom. We understand small, but wood in the shower window? All in all, a fun place, great location and I really did ride the elevator!

Here’s the pros: the location is incredibly good. The staff is very nice and helpful. The room air conditioning is great. There is good coffee for free all morning in the lobby. Here’s the cons: this vintage hotel is old. The room was very noisy…in fact…ear plugs are provided for free. Room lighting is very poor and some doors don’t close properly. The carpet in the rooms and the hallways are dirty; during our week stay, we never once saw a vacuum being used. The rooms lack refrigerators and counter space…we had to keep many items on the floor. It pains me to say these things but I cannot go back; we definitely expect a lot more for $300 per night. This is better than a campsite but cannot match a modern motel. If the hotel invested in minor renovations and better housekeeping, it would make a huge difference.

Our overnight stay started out nicely. The daytime staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel itself is lovely. The free earplugs over on the wine “mini bar” should have clued me in.

Later on in the evening , the loud music from the Bovine restaurant underneath our room started and never stopped. Between that, loud guests in the hallway and street noise, I ended up cramming those earplugs into my ears and drifted off to sleep. Woke up before 1am and the music from downstairs was STILL blaring. I tried to call down to the front desk but no one was answering. We decided then to pack up and go home. Never again!

Pros:
- friendly daytime staff
- Beautiful historic property

Cons:
- extremely noisy
- Unprofessional night staff not answering phone
