A beautiful historic building, fully renovated but preserving the majestic decor and charm. Thoroughly enjoyed our five night stay. Breakfast was very good. We had a rental car so we’re able to drive around the city. There didn’t appear to be restaurants or retail close to the hotel. Nearby streets didn’t look to be tourist friendly-a bit sketchy I would say.

Beautiful building and nice big rooms. The beds were so comfy!! The only negative was the A/C didn’t work in our room. The thermostat was taped off with a note saying do not touch. Luckily there was a fan in the closet. And also the guests above us were doing laps in their room, it was very annoying!! If I were to stay there again i would request the top floor.

It is a nice old building, was clean and the staff were pleasent enough. There is no restaurant or vending machine. Room was clean but curtains were ripped and frayed. If you're a light sleeper it can be a little disruptive as you can hear other rooms around you. All in all not terrible but overpriced for what you get.
