Gabrielle

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
Room was tiny but clean, and if nothing else, it encouraged you to get out and see the city. For one person, it was doable. The elevator was a bit strange. The on-site bars and restaurant were nice and staff were friendly. I guess my chief complaint would be the “resort” fee which seemed unnecessary considering the price of the items in the bars and restaurant and the fact that the room was so small with few amenities.

The property was fine. The room was the issue. The first couple days we didn’t notice much about the room other than very dusty. It smelled a little musty but it’s an old building so that’s understandable. But after showing for a few days (there isn’t a working fan) we noticed when we would get back from our activities and the room would have a very strong mildew odor. The water from the shower is not draining properly and the steam is not ventilating anywhere. We had to close the bathroom door and stuff a towel under the door just to sleep. I thought about changing rooms but we only had one more night and I figured all the rooms were like this. Next time we’ll be doing an airbnb or staying somewhere else.

If the overall volume of background noise matters to you, then seriously consider this establishment. It really did not feel like an urban experience from the quiet. I'll have to ask them how they do it.

The property is gorgeous, historical and old timey feel but also incredibly elegant and cool. We loved our stay and were greeted by kindness and calm which is all we can ask during a stay. My only complaint is that all the bars were listed to be open until 1 am or late and that was just not the case the night we went. We were quite disappointed as that was major part of our booking but the people at the front were kind to give us some recommendations on what to do next.
