An elevator was down so, getting through the hotel was slow. The heat sucked. I know it's sensored but it still took a long time to warm. There was a stain on the couch. Other than that, the staff is great, room design is cool (get smart TVs tho, cable sucks). I would stay again, if y'all got smart TVs lol

The hotel has an older charm, and the pictures—along with the museum—make it look appealing. However, the reality was disappointing. The elevators were run-down, the interior was dated with stains everywhere, and there was exposed wiring in the hallways. Most importantly, the heat went out on Valentine’s Day, leaving us freezing all night. We had trouble sleeping because of the cold, which is why we requested a late checkout—but they refused. They also ran out of space heaters and only offered a free breakfast (which I had already paid for) as compensation. Overall, a very underwhelming experience.

High hopes not met. Front desk person explained all amenities and room charges but spoke so low and fast I couldn’t understand. The tv would dim the brightness down after 10 seconds being on a channel. The shower door would make an extremely loud noise every time it opened and closed. I couldn’t get one of the curtains/blinds to close. The led light in the bathroom was broken so it would flash lights. Lots of weird of noises at night.

To start with the staff was very friendly, I only rated that area 3 star because it said staff and services. There was no heat in our room from the minute we arrived. The first call to inform them we were told the heating was turned on by motion sensor, give it an hour. Our second call they said well we could bring up a heater and some extra blankets. It took a third call to get them to the room. The heater helped but the comment well it is an old building and was a bank in my mind was no excuse. Considering it is known as an art hotel the wall color in our room was incredibly boring s as was the art work. ( The lobby was very well appointed so we did not expect this). Room service was dismal. So many things forgotten requiring multiple trips back to the kitchen. Food was ice cold at breakfast. On Saturday morning we asked for two soft boiled eggs and two hard boiled eggs. I had the order repeated back to me. We received 4 hard boiled eggs. When they called to see how things were we told them about this and she said she’d tell her manager and get back to us which never happened. It’s been a very, very long time since we have had a poor experience at hotel. We were quite taken back by this. Again the staff was very friendly but we will not be back.

There was no heat Friday to Sunday. Water went off Saturday night. Received no compensation for this inconvenience In addition 2 of the four elevators were not working, creating long wait times. Just an overall sense of lack of facility maintenance.
