This is a well kept property in the historical area. Once you park your car (about $25) you can walk to the historical sites and restaurants. The hotel is on the hop on, hop off trolley route so that makes transportation very easy. We enjoyed our stay.

Rooms were clean, staff were not super nice but helpful when needed. If you are a light sleeper stay away! It is extremely loud, the walls are paper thin, there is a bar of some short right behind the hotel and the music playing is loud and you can hear it word for word. The window coverings are part sheer and let in a lot of light at night. The best part about this hotel is it was walking distance to EVERYTHING! It is super convenient. The beds were comfortable as well.

Room was good - clean and well taken care of. Water could be hotter in showers. Noise level behind rooms was a bit loud. Parking is tricky and at a premium thus the $25 daily charge.

Location Is Key to this hotel it is probably the best location we have stayed at and we go every year. Staff was very nice and friendly and the shower pressure was amazing and water always hott. They do warn you about noise and supply earplugs and the noise is pretty bad. The alley behind hotel has a bar and we could hear word for word all the conversations and drunken drama fight through the back wall where the AC is till after 2am. Everything else is good don’t need to use vehicle at all everything was within walking distance but if you need your quiet sleep this wouldn’t work.
