Cool property. The front desk worker was cool. He gave us a solid 15 minute tour of the place and explained the history. Very nice guy. It was a great location for New Years Eve. We could walk to all the bars and clubs for the girls and gays and eat at some available open options. Centrally located for sure. Super loud all night due to New Year’s Eve though so don’t plan on getting any peace and quiet until 230/3am and it’s a hostel - so even though we had a private room, we were next to a public room where everyone woke up and started making noise at like 8am. Other than that, great for partying and walking safely to a ton of fun things.

Good: The staff was friendly and helpful. The lobby was nice. Not so good: the room smelled bad. Suspect the carpet could use a cleaning. Halls were dark paint and poorly lit. Supplied earplugs did not help with the bar music in the adjacent building. Curtains did not block out the lights from passing traffic. Bar fight in the street at 3am. Miserable night.

The staff was amazing and the building has historical significance. I felt like was in the 1920s. It felt very classy. I will come again.
