I love the ambience and the quirky decor. The lobby is beautiful along with the bar and restaurant. The staff are so friendly and professional. I love the free laundry and the candy bar. The bed was very comfortable along with quality linens. The carpets in the rooms could be cleaner. Love the bathroom.

Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Cleanliness
The lobby is very nice and the whole building has an interesting history. The loft room was an interesting concept. However, the room had a few problems: the main table was dirty with some ash and sticky residue on it, one of the light bulbs was burned out, the toilet was half-clogged, the air conditioning was struggling on a very warm (but not even hot) day, and there was a cockroach in the bathroom! The compounding disappointment was that I reported those things to the reception in the morning, and nothing has been done nor was anything followed up on in any way. I understand that some of those things I reported could not have been fixed in a day, but at least some should’ve been acted upon.

We stayed last minute for our 30th anniversary. The staff upgraded our room, gave us fizz and made a home made card. Faultless.
