No frills, no parking, no pool, have no expectations if you go. Historic building, we were told they're not permitted to do renovations or upgrades. You can really see the history behind the layers of peeling paint. Forgot your coat hangers, no problem, so did they! Enjoy the tranquil drip of low pressure water as you let the shower run for 1-2 minutes for hot water. Don't be modest, soak up the sunshine through a single pane window while you simultaneously soak in the tub. What a view for everyone! Can't decide if you want the blinds open or closed, do both. One is stuck down, the other open, best of both worlds. Enjoy a DIY coffee experience in the common area, complete with antique pouches of powdered coffee dust. Abstract art enthusiast? The stains on the valance provide a great focal point and are open to interpretation.

Old hotel, most notably with regard to the elevator and bathroom, but clean and comfortable, fairly quiet. No ice available in the hotel - could get small amounts from the restaurant next door. Shower water was luke warm at best regardless of how long you let it warm up. No discounts to park in local garages. But staff was friendly and as I mentioned, the room was clean

The room was not as shown in pictures very run down and unkempt, we had four rooms for three nights and had no hot water for the entirety one of the rooms had the look of an attempted break in so we had to switch if we could have changed hotels we would have Hotel.com should perhaps check the hotels they are promoting. I will say the man on the front desk wascvery apologetic but he seemed to be working with no back up.
