We stayed here in November. For some reason, the heat was on full blast, and I saw a thermostat set to 83F. It was stifling. The only way to get relief was to ask the staff to come into our room to turn on the AC. What kind of system is this? Who actually wants the heat that high? The building itself seems kind of old with visible cracks in some tiles. I am fine with that, but what I am not ok with is the shower having very weak water pressure. I will say that the staff was absolutely first rate and none of my complaints should reflect on them. I wish them all the best. And for their sake, I hope someone will turn the heat down.

Very friendly staff, great experience and good price for a last minute booking. Slightly firmer bed, otherwise very cute and charming place. A bit of oddness with lack of control of AC units, after housecleaning temperatures would be reset colder each day and had to go down and ask them to not make the room so cold a few times.

The room key had issues a few times. Had to park 3 blocks away for $50/day. The tv was from the 90s. Breakfast was ok. Staff was fine, the “hotel” is almost borderline “motel”

Hotel room had several issues, rotted door frames, uncomfortable bed, dirty carpet, bathroom sink did not drain, and worst was black mold in the heating/cooling unit. Can’t report on shower operation since didn’t feel comfortable doing that. I rarely ever post a negative review, this place needs work. Hallways were dark with soiled carpet as well. They had a social hour with cheap but free wine and a sparse breakfast, probably accommodations meant for incentive to look past the problems.
Black mold inside heat/cool unit.
