Rooms were clean, associates nice, breakfast acceptable. The pictures online were very outdated, no loungers by the pool, courtyard had old broken chairs and scattered around. Very dated, BUT the trolly does stop right at the hotel so that is a huge plus if you don’t want to drive!

The property is old, very unique and quaintly charming. They tried to update amenities; paint, flooring, updated bathroom. However, it still felt a little "trashy". Despite that, we'd probably stay again.

Staff is lovely, Allowed us to check in a couple hours early. Unfortunately the room could have used some additional cleaning attention. Some makeup stains on the pillow cases and the floor was filthy. We realized this because we took our sandals off when we got into the room and were walking in our bare feet… the undersides were completely black. A good scrub with a clean mop is all that’s needed to fix that issue.

The Kleenex box in the bathroom was dusty, the bottom shelf on the cabinet where you put your clothes was dusty, lights were unplugged the clock not set, the small refrigerator wasn’t stable. All the chairs by the big tree in the middle of the courtyard had no cushions.

Very good location on general. However, the hotel was more like a motel. Room I reserved and paid for was approximately 100 square feet less than expected. You had to walk around the building to a breakfast area that was run down and basically dirty. I did not eat breakfast there at all. Also room was not renovated to any extent. Don't go by the pictures at all. Any way, just an average motel that happens to be within walking distance to just about everything, including the trolley station.

Nice, cheap, dive for close to the action.

The location can't be beat. It's close to historical sites and walking distance to most places if you are not limited by physical issues. We were able to catch the trolley (green) at the motel stop. That was lovely. The front desk staff was wonderful and helpful. The room was "clean" but has mildew on the bathroom ceiling. There were large red ants coming into the bathroom, and cracks in the walls. Also, the curtains in the room were thread bare and able to show light through them in the morning sunshine. There was no way to use my Roku device with the TV in the room. The bed was very hard and uncomfortable and we did not use the pillows provided because they were old and well used. No bed bugs, just not fresh. The tile floor was not the cleanest either but it's hard to keep that type of flooring clean in an older place. We were not bothered by much of that, as we just cleaned up ourselves. If that's a deal breaker for you, than this is not your place. However, if you don't mind a place with character and priced well, than this place is great.

Rude. Charged $100 to cc and did not credit account for a week. They hold deposits for a week in interest bearing accounts while they keep your money from you for their benefit.. This is what cheap motels do. This place has paper thin walls. Had to call the cops due to fighting in next room at 4am. The breakfast is a joke! Turkey sausage and powdered eggs..Just go somewhere decent and be happy. Get tired of paying market rate for rude checkin. Also refused to allow an early checkin at 2pm when it was obvious half the rooms had been cleaned. I was as told to sit and await with my elderly mother when the clerk could have easily checked me in. Yes, I did check directly with housekeeping. She was extremely rude and lazy. Seemed to enjoy the power of inconvenience over my elderly mom. How awful when a business could easily extend this courtesy to a guest but refuses to do it…lazy! I live In this town but will never recommend this place. I could feel the coil in the bed. The building itself needs power washing. Just cheap people running a cheap motel. I did not get what I paid for. Sad it’s here making our city look cheap too!
