As a lover of the beauty, timelessness and history of early 20th century architecture, I can honestly say that I loved staying in this hotel. Its proximity to public transportation and nightlife venues was good for us. We frequently visited the roof lounge and found the complementary coffee bar awesome, as well as the coffee itself. The evening view from the rooftop over the city was amazing. The staff was amazing, too, and so friendly and helpful. My only issue, and it’s a minor one, was the lack of fabric softener on the towels; they were a bit rough. Clean and comfortable with lots of charm. Would definitely stay there again.

We checked in around 10 pm. We had to walk down stairs 7 times to get the room key activated. The security guard had to come up 2x and then the manager had to come with the master key to let us in. The beds are small. Fulls are the biggest size they have. Perfect for kids not so much for adults. Wouldn't stay again.
