Nice room and hotel,although paid extra for view on main street and it was very noisy and we were on 5th flr. Also,wasn't happy had to enter shower next to toilet instead of door opening on right side by wall. Clearly it was installed backwards and we had to squeeze past toilet to get in and out. Good thing we are average sized people. We weren't reminded at check-in of free breakfast and spent money every morning at their coffee cafe. If you visit and want to sleep in,get a room in back otherwise nice.

Pool and lobby are great. Coffee is really good downstairs at the little shop. I would have loved if we could have walked out on our balcony but the door was sealed shut. The gym could also use some improvement, very minimal equipment.

The property was nice and clean. It has good charm to the history. What we didn’t like was paying almost $50 to park valet and all the noise in downtown. It was convenient to walk to places but the room was so noisy from the street traffic that we barely slept.

The location of this hotel is great. Hotel was very clean and nicely decorated. There was an issue with one of the elevators most of our stay which caused some frustration otherwise I would have given 5 stars. Food at the 1540 Room restaurant was very good but I can’t say enough about the location. I would definitely stay here again.

Had a corner room: it was spacious, quiet, and clean. Hotel is in a very central location in the downtown historic district, so you can walk everywhere or take the free trolley that stops right outside. Friendly staff, excellent lounge, the entire stay was great!

The room and lobby are on good condition.. However there were few items that cahsed to lower the grade. 1. Elevators were supper slow and yiu end uo waiting a lot if time. We prqctically had to use the stairs most if the time. 2. The water flow is the shiwer us very slow 3. The insulation in the room is poor so you near noise whenever someone else uses the water talks 4. The windows to the street have poor insulation and there is a lot of noise coming from the street. 5. We came a bit early and were charged extra 30 dollars for early check in. Never in my life i was charged fir early checking if the hotel has the rooms ready. It is just beeing greedy. 6. The staff at the hotel restuant was very mjch nkt freindly
