Okay

Parking not available through hotel - parking garage across the street was expensive and operated poorly. Hotel restaurant was mediocre and expensive. Hotel room furniture was not in the best shape and there were multiple stains on the carpet. It was also reasonably hot weather and the hotel had no AC, which is understandable, but the window barely opened. Felt very expensive for what we received.

Central location. Very noisy with disco until 2am outside. Will be very unlikely to return. Limited restuarant choice. Lovely old building.
