I was told this property is being sold. Current owners not really interested in keeping it up. The bed was comfortable. The building is very old and needs repairs.

The room was exactly as described. It was a cost effective option for an evening for my girlfriend and myself. The tempur-pedic bed was extremely comfortable which is great. The room was clean, the water pressure was great. The toiletries provided were in condiment packages which were...a little lacking. But really other than that it was a pleasant evening and I'd stay again if I needed to.

The room we were staying in was very dirty. The ceiling fan was filled with dust. The bathroom door had a difficult time opening and closing. No refrigerator in the room. The TV was difficult to set up and very outdated. The only good thing about the property was the location, walking distance from downtown.

Perfectly Fine.

It’s pricey for an ancient, outdated place but it’s clean, the AC is freezing cold and the showers are hot. The bed was comfortable, it worked well for one night.

There was no one at desk for check in. Keys for all rooms were on counter with our names. Had to buy batteries for TV. Room needed updating. Ripped curtain and wallpaper pealing. It was walking distance to downtown on the upside.

If I had known there was no elevator I would not have booked there. Building is very old and reminds me of a cheap retirement home. It’s not falling apart but it needs updating. Beds were clean but light bulbs were missing. Holes in wall poorly patched, stairs are a challenge for older people or those with mobility problems.

Stay away if your are smart.

The bed had only 2 pillows and 1 small blanket. The TV was the size of a microwave and we could not get any channels to work. The internet was terrible and could not be used. There were no shampoo, conditioner or bar soap. No person at front desk just a key in an envelope. Wall paper falling off the wall

This was really a bad experience in every way. First there is no working elevator, so be ready for steep stairs. There was no TV, no fridge or microwave, no soap or shampoo. Not even handsoap at the sink. I travel a lot and never been in a hotel without these basics. Obviously no cups, coffee, ice buckets in room. Coffee in kuerig downstairs, however, we were hiking and there were no cups. So no coffee either. We learned the front desk was only available 10 to 10 so unfortunately the no soap issue waited until 10 am the next day. This was probably the worst place I ever stayed. Also, the wall paper was peeling off the walls.

DO NOT STAY HERE! No one working in the hotel before 4. Waited an hour for someone to check us in. Finally someone showed up to work but he disappeared up stairs. Never saw him again. Called the phone number for help checking and the person was completely unhelpful. Said we just had to wait. Not accessible at all. You have to carry your bags up narrow stairs.

It's an old building, with old interiors as well. We already went knowing that, therefore with very low expectations. The experience was surprisingly positive. The location is so worth it. Since we planned most of our days outside, the hotel room was only for sleeping and showers. Everything was reasonably clean, there was no smells from the carpet or anything. Bed was comfortable and temperature was pleasant, with AC. The guy at reception was kind when giving our keys. There's no fridge or Microwave in the room, but there's water, coffee/tea, and a microwave in the main floor. Toileteries are included but simple, I'd recommend taking your own shampoo/conditioner with you. I'd go back in a summer circumstance.

When I arrived, nobody here for the checkin, just a key on the frontdesk with the number of the room. Then I went to my room with a bad smell that lingers throughout the hotel. Finally I try to enter in my room and a woman inside. Go back to the reception but nobody to help me... A young man arrives in shorts and slippers to try to give me another room without even apologizing... No elevator, even though I had 6 huge bags to carry. A horrible experience! I don’t even understand how it can be rated so well. Clearly, a hotel in abandonment.
