The staff were very friendly even got us into our room early. Enjoyed the lobby and fireplace, and the barista at the cafe made a great cappuccino. The room was on the small side, but it was all we needed. The bed was very comfortable.

NO MORNING COFFEE…the shop was supposed to be open at 7:00 and it did not open until after 8:00, with no possibility of on-site coffee…woman at front desk just shrugged and said she has nothing to do with coffee…staff extremely unhelpful…rooms a bit “beat up”…could use a coat of paint…one elevator was out of use in the morning and multiple housekeeping staff with giant carts were occupying the only working elevator going up and down - a problem if the room is on the 6th floor…have stayed at hip, value hotels for the same price that were infinitely better

Hello Anton,Thanks for sharing your feedback. It seems as though a lot of your frustration stemmed from our on-site coffee vendor not being available when you would have liked which we’re sorry to hear. It’s true that we don’t manage our vendor's hours and therefore, can only pass along your feedback which we’ll be sure to do. Thanks for all of your notes and know that we wish you the very best in your travels.Sincerely,Joe CornejoRooms Division Manager

The bathrooms are communal, so expect to have some adventure when washing hands, brushing teeth, and taking showers. That being said, this is a fun historic hotel with a significant number of International guests. Excellent stay.

Hi Michael, We’re glad you enjoyed your visit! While we do offer an optional “bath down the hall” arrangement, we’d like to make clear that these restrooms are separated by locked doors, giving guests privacy to do all of the activities you’ve mentioned. We trust that detail enriched your experience and hope to share everything that makes our property revolutionary with you again soon! Sincerely, Connie Shaheen General Manager
