Historic building in great area.

The staff was welcoming and amazing to deal with. The hotel is beautiful but could use a few minor upgrades...one elevator was out for out stay and the bathroom fan was noisy. They offered to swap our room but said all the fans were the same. Great area in the middle of dozens of good eateries.

The hotel itself was nice and has a very cool vintage vibe. The room itself was much smaller than we anticipated but the worst part was the couple upstairs, they were very loud at all late hours and in the early morning. Their loud squeaky bed didn’t let us sleep very well either, almost embarrassing to be in our room.
