Love the Sylvia!

We stayed in the 2 bedroom suite and it was perfect for our needs. The staff are so friendly and helpful and understanding too. We always stay at the Sylvia. It is a unique hotel with a unique history and we highly recommend it for folks who appreciate history and something solid, reliable, comfy and super charming.
