This was a nice hotel for an overnight stop. I love the historical feel of the hotel. It was clean and the staff was kind and helpful. The location was great. I brought my 60-lbs dog and there was plenty of places for walks.

This hotel was super convenient since it was walkable to downtown and the wharf. The staff was super kind. The hotel is definitely out of date BUT is extremely clean and feels historic. The view from our historic room was pretty, but a little loud at night. There was a homeless person sitting inside when we left to pick up our car from the valet which was weird but not a big deal. Would definitely come back!!

It was a decent stay for my short trip. I showed up on a day one of the rooms had sprinklers go off. The lobby floor was leaking making the entrance inconveniently smaller. Parking was atrocious as the fire trucks blocked both streets. Their valet entrance was too small for my truck to fit, so I had to park at a lot off the next street over. It isn’t far, but it was inconvenient. However, the staff were helpful and courteous. I didn’t like that I was put in a corner room at the floor entrance. Guests were noisy and I could hear everything. I didn’t sleep well because of it. I’d recommend this hotel for its friendly/helpful staff, decent price, and pet allowance.

Staying at this vintage hotel was a fun experience. The bed was very comfortable. The staff were kind. The coffee in the morning was nice. Lots of great places to eat near by. Be sure to reserve time for the hot tub.

Not a good first night

Customer service at both check in and check out were outstanding. We had three rooms for six people. The rooms were clean. Our room was very warm. We opened the window and had to use the oscillating fan to cool the room. There is no air conditioning or thermostat to control temperature. In the early evening of our first night, two members of our group were unable to get into their room. The keys (card) were unable to open door. My sister went down to lobby to get a new set of key; still did not work. We called downstairs and bellman came up to help. He, too, was unable to open the room. He tried again, this time shoving his shoulder into the door. It still did not open. He then said he would have to call a locksmith. My sister and her friend ended up waiting in our room. We received a call that it was going to take longer. I asked if they could be accommodated in another room; I was told there were no other rooms available. After 1.5 -2 hrs. Wait, my sister checked her room. The locksmiths made entry in their room through the window. They insinuated the my sister was at fault for breaking the door. She at no time touched the door, other than to try her key. To sum everything, the employees both at the desk and those in the room were very rude. I would not recommend this hotel. It has a great location, but not worth the inconvenience and rudeness we were put through.
