Spacious and well-appointed room. Unfortunately, the heating and cooling did not work. The front desk gave us a space heater, which worked well enough.

Friendly staff at the front desk. Very nice hotel with one of the nicest beds I’ve slept on. We stayed in room 309, it sounded like a lot of roller carts or something above our room and also to the side of it near the master suite. Maybe it’s the hotel laundry room or break room idk, but its loud. Up above this room it sounded like something being rolled back and forth throughout the night. Overall still a nice place to stay and maybe that’s just part of staying in an older hotel. Side note, someone broke into our car broke our window at parking meter on the street, directly in front of the hotel entrance. I’d recommend using the parking garage.
