Bed/pillows ok. 1st room I was assigned was actually under construction. 2nd room seemed ok, but when I was taking a shower, I looked thru the glass to the jacuzzi tub and saw basically a large wet rag in the bottom of the tub, obviously used…

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The hotel is under REMODEL. Our room was in the back. Had trouble getting our luggage to our room because all hallways were full of construction equipment. I booked through Hotels.com and when I checked in I was charged again. Upon check out I asked about the charge and was told it would drop off. The security charge did but the room charge remained. Called the hotel and was told I would be given a refund 3 times but never was. When I asked to speak to the manager and amazingly he was either in a meeting or out. Left 3 messages for him to contact me. Have heard nothing. I would not recommend this hotel. Bad business practice. Spend your money elsewhere.

The coffee maker didn’t work, the bathtub drain didn’t work. It’s a historical building,sad to see the beautiful oak interior finish carpentry, base boards, chair rail painted green. Good location. Renovations still underway. Green???? What were you thinking? Some designer thought this was a good idea. Fingers crossed that it works out.

Liked: Cleanliness
The room was clean and nicely decorated. The hot water was not as hot as it should be, could be due to the construction that’s on- going. The hotel lacks any food or drink options currently. I look forward to seeing how the hotel looks after all the remodeling and renovations are complete.

Walking in and greeted by the front desk person, she was very nice and answered all my questions! She said the hotel was undergoing renovations so I didn’t know what to expect! Entered the room and was pleasantly surprised! It was very clean and spacious! The bathroom was so nice, jacuzzi tub was amazing! Bedding and bed were comfortable and inviting! I would call this a hidden treasure along the 101!
