Gorgeous Art Deco hotel worth staying at for the architectural design itself. La Notte restaurant was simply fabulous with delicious wines, cocktails and some of the best Italian cuisine I have had in my life - and I have been to Italy! Succulent tilapia with risotto and melt-in-your mouth navel pasta. 100% recommended!!

We had a great stay. Recommend for large rooms, walkable and safe area, price, and free parking lots. The only reason I didn’t give a 5 stars is the room was very warm/stuffy and the fan worked but not air-I get it’s and older hotel but the thermostat was not secure and hanging on by a thread the tv was also hard to work it had to be turned in a certain position to power on. Those were not deal breakers to me and I would definitely stay again if I’m in the area.
