Overall a good place to stay. Great location (though free parking is a few blocks away) and beautiful old building. With that, our room had a separate sink away from the bathroom which was a bit awkward. Our bathroom fan wasn't working & some of the furniture & carpeting was a bit tired. Definite noise from the street but pretty good blackout shades. Lovely cookies & wine in the evening, all day tea/water service, and breakfast in the morning (though the same ingredients showed up a few days in a row in different forms.)

Hotel was cute, clean, and in a great location. However the breakfast service was a bit messy, as orders weren’t kept track of, and the staff would leave dirty plates, utensils, and food from other patrons on the table without cleaning them for a very long time, leaving them next to new diners for almost the entire meal.
