Summary: The hotel is stunning. I was so impressed with the cleanliness and modernness of the room! Knowing the hotel is a historic building, I did not expect that. I appreciated the friendliness and efficiency of the associate who handled our check in. The parking included is a bonus!
Margaret Jun 16, 2025 12:25:29 AM
Summary: Our only interacction with staff was at check-in, hotel bar and check-out. Check-in reception was friendly and courteous. The bartender wasn't the most friendliest but he was alone and it did get busy. The room was typical for an old property, the bathroom was great and clean. The mattress was extremely hard. We both woke up with hip and leg pain. In the morning, Sunday June 15th, at around 7:30 i went to the libby to see if they had coffee and asked a gentlemen walking in, probably to start yis shift, and he walked past me without saying a word. Check out was a breeze.

Summary: They charged me a $27 fee for “amenities” such as a “free” welcome drink, parking (which is free on weekdays anyways, WiFi, and a coffee maker (I don’t drink coffee. So I paid $27 to get a “free” drink. That sucks.
