Very nice spot

Great location. Cute hotel. Check-in was a little confusing as you cannot enter the hotel without someone letting you in which is kind of unusual but once we understood that it was all good. The room was nice and very comfortable. The shared bathroom was no issue.

It is a beautiful hotel in a good location. ONLY FOR YOUNGER PEOPLE. There is NO ELEVATOR. We had a TON of luggage we had to carry upstairs. No where downstairs to store luggage. Was comfy, pretty, and safe. No AC but the windows were nice and cool. Ran by college students.

We stayed in a room with a shared bathroom, and it was a fun, unique experience. The bathroom and showers were very clean- and I appreciated having a key code for the women’s bathroom. This is a great, historic hotel!

A lovely old-fashioned inn

This is a delightful, old-fashioned inn. Although the property is old it is in good condition ( except for creaky floorboards). Everything has been updated and even the shared bathroom is sparkling clean. The location is great: just around the corner from the Meany Center. It would not be accessible for someone with major mobility problems, but otherwise it's a great choice.

Not your typical hotel

Unexpected that it was a hotel with shared bathrooms, didn't realize this was the case when I booked. Excellent location, right at the end of the U of W campus. Pub, restaurants, and coffee below the hotel. Uses a pin to get into the front door and your room (rather than card keys). Microwave and fridge available in the common space. Relatively low cost. No frills, great for a singlr traveler with twin bed options. Not your typical hotel, there are a few trade offs that, in my opinion, are well worth it for a business trip.
