Historic Hotel

It’s a historic hotel that is very clean with modernish furnishings. The beds are updated and comfy. The other furniture is not new, but is clean and looks nice. Room heater/air updated and very quiet. Room size very spacious. Breakfast is small menu, but they cook to order and was very tasty. Fun experience and I would stay again.

Possible last stay at a great historic hotel.

This was my 2nd time staying here, the previous time for a conference in 2018. Needless to say, the Hotel is up for sale, and the purchase is expected to close within this next year. Therefore, rooms are a bit worn out, and items are not really being replaced. The staff is fantastic, and were very easy to work with. The Hotel architecture is wonderful and historic. You can see reminders of what it once was, back in it's glory days. But, the end is near, and the future for this great building appears to be apartments, versus hotel rooms.

It was a port in a store, but what a port! The staff was wonderful and welcoming. The hotel is an older one, but it was quiet and comfortable. I was disheartened to learn that the hotel is being sold for conversion into housing. So sad that the great old hotels are being replaced by the chain franchises. My husband and I were on the road for eight days, and this hotel(and one other) was the best stay we had. Perhaps the modern hotels could learn somthing from this lovely gem!

I would like to start out that the front desk staff and kitchen manager were very friendly and professional. From there, the stay was not so great. My first room had some sort of roaches in it. I first saw one when the first night, but I can overlook one bug considering I had just come in off the road on a hot summer night. I saw another one later in my stay. I requested housekeeping to be safe, but housekeeping never came. I had a huge work schedule, so I was not able to move hotels, and the room was otherwise clean, so I stayed but decided not to eat at the hotel, despite free breakfast as part of the amenities. The third roach and I asked the housekeeper I saw in the hall if they could send maintenance to my room and told her of the bugs. She kind of stared at me and said maintenance was off that day. I went downstairs for a new room. Again, the staff at the desk was very nice, and said they would get my things moved to the new room, since I had to work a long day in the heat. I returned at 10:30pm, and nope. I had to move all my things myself. I was on the top floor, so I had to wait for the very slow elevator, go get a key card, and move everything myself from a bug-infested room late at night. My new room had a very off-putting smell, and there were stains on the furniture. The fixtures were clean, but the AC filter had not been changed in some time. Combuned with the filthy carpets in the halls and grimy tiles in the lobby, it is clear maintenance is a joke.
Stained seating with a weird smell
Filthy walls with peeling paper
Grimy lobby tile, not sure when they were last polished
I would not go barefoot on this hallway carpet

The hotel is older, but quaint. Our room was a decent size and clean. However, the bathroom is tiny but usable. There is a fridge and microwave which is good. The hotel was quiet. The trash truck at 1am woke us up but that is not on the hotel. The breakfast is different. I am used to going up and getting whatever I want, but they have limited choices. However, it is cooked to order and was good. Just a bit weird. It is a restaurant as well as the breakfast for the hotel. They suggested leaving a tip because that is not covered in the free breakfast. Glad they told us. Overall it was a pleasant stay. Air conditioning was good and cold and constant fan is awesome for me to sleep better.

It's fun to stay in a big old 100-year-old hotel. This one is showing its age, but it's not bad. The staff were nice and efficient. For the price, it's a great deal.
