The hotel is oddly organized - hard to find the front desk. Valet was not there when we returned from dinner. Room was 85 degrees when we came I. We turned the thermostat to 65 before we left for dinner and when we returned it was still 78 degrees. Air was not working.

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.
