Although, this is an older hotel, the room was very clean. My only complaint was that my TV didn't work. Since I was only there one night I didn't report it but just left them a note.

Little thoughtful details put this place over the top for me! Staff sweet as can be. All of the vintage feel of the upgrades were spot- on and done with care. High end bath products. Products in the room to room to buy are adorable. Very comfy beds. Large rooms. The welcome and goodbye texts were very cool, very helpful. Loved, will definitely stay again!
